Nadiem Amiri leaves Bayer 04 for Mainz

Nadiem Amiri has left Bayer 04 Leverkusen, where his contract was set to expire in summer 2024, to join fellow Bundesliga club Mainz. The midfielder first came to the BayArena in 2019 from Hoffenheim, while he also spent six months on loan at Italian side Genoa in 2022. The 27-year-old made a total of 146 appearances for the Werkself, scoring 12 goals and providing 20 assists.

“Despite his tough situation in recent months, Nadiem never let his head drop and always behaved in an exemplary manner,” stressed Simon Rolfes, managing director for sport. “He showed that once again in his final appearance last Saturday against Mönchengladbach. His move now offers our young players a greater chance to take the next step in their very good development.”

Five-time Germany international Amiri leaves Leverkusen with a tear in his eye. “I had a great time here and got to play with some fantastic guys,” he said. “And the support I got from the fans was also great. I’m very grateful for that.”
