Leon Bailey extends stay at Bayer 04 to 2023
Bayer 04 and Leon Bailey have agreed a contract extension: The new deal for the 21-year-old runs to 30 June 2023. The club made the announcement at the season launch event.
Leon Bailey joined the Werkself from Belgian top-tier club KRC Genk in January 2017. The Jamaican has made 44 appearances for the Werkself scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists. His original contract ran to 2022.
“Over the past weeks and months there have been constant rumours about Leon’s future. The player has obviously been flattered to be sought after by one or two of the big clubs. However: He really feels at home at Leverkusen, he is very professional in his approach and he knows Bayer 04 is a very good club where he can continue to develop. That’s why we agreed to extend his contract early,” said Bayer 04 sporting director Jonas Boldt.
