"In Martin Terrier we've gained a prolific, fast and intelligent forward," said Bayer 04 managing director for sport Simon Rolfes. "Martin is a strong finisher and versatile - a good footballer who fits into our team superbly with his profile. We're delighted he's decided to join us."
Terrier, who will train with head coach Xabi Alonso's team for the first time on Friday, commented: "It's been my wish to move to a big club abroad in Europe after seven years as a professional in France. The fact I now get to show my skills with the German double winners is magnificent and a special motivation for me. Bayer 04 also made headlines in France with their achievements last season. It's fantastic to be a part of this team from now on."
The European jersey has been launched, the UEL opponents have been drawn – and anticipation for the European campaign is running high. To mark the occasion, an autograph session was held on Friday afternoon, 28 August, at the Fanwelt with current Werkself player Montrell Culbreath and official club legend Paulo Sergio.

After six and a half years, Exequiel Palacios is leaving the Bundesliga and moving from Bayer 04 to the Premier League. The Argentine, who as a Werkself player won the World Cup with his national team four years ago and finished as runners-up at this summer’s tournament, will play for newly promoted English side Ipswich Town with immediate effect. The 27-year-old, whose contract in Leverkusen was due to run until 30 June 2030, joined Bayer 04 in January 2020 as a promising young talent. He steadily developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in the German top flight.

Pala, as he is known, had already won the Copa Libertadores – the most prestigious competition in South American club football – with River Plate. But there were still so many more trophies to come.
