"Lara Marti is a technically gifted player. She is very talented and capable of developing. We can use her as a defensive player on the flanks – but she also has very good quality in attack going forward," head coach Achim Feifel said about the new signing.

The 20-year-old made her professional debut for the top-flight side Basel in 2017. Last summer she received her first call up to the full Switzerland squad after having progressed through all the youth teams at national level.

Marti: "Bayer 04 offers me a great chance to develop both on and off the pitch. It's a great challenge that I'm happy to accept. I'm looking forward to a new chapter in my life and a successful time with my new club."

Not the first time at the BayArena: Profile of Abdoulaye Faye

It is almost two years since Bayer 04 new signing Abdoulaye Faye first stepped foot into the BayArena as a player for the Swedish club BK Häcken in the opening match in the 2023/24 Europa League campaign. A day before his nineteenth birthday, the central defender did not play in the 4-0 win for the Werkself but it was "an incredible night" for him on 21 September 2023 as he explained in his first interview on bayer04.de. "I watched the players and saw the fans. I liked it." It was also the first European night early on in his career. He only joined the then champions of Sweden in the cold north of Europe from his home in Senegal a few weeks before that special moment. Bayer04.de profiles our new defender.
