“Robert Andrich has developed into one of the key players in our Werkself team and has also produced brilliant performances on the international stage. Not least his appearances for Germany at Euro 2024 demonstrate his great development over the past few seasons," said Simon Rolfes, Bayer 04 sporting managing director. "Robert is a leader on and off the pitch. He combines the outstanding ability to win the ball with football excellence and is able to use those qualities in different positions."
29-year-old Andrich sees Leverkusen as "absolutely the right club. I'm experiencing the most successful time in my career and feel that the hunger of the team is as big now even after that special season," declared Andrich. "I'm really looking forward to going on together in the next few years and I'll give my all for my teammates, this special club and not least our fantastic fans."
