"Lilla has been a reliable linchpin in our central defence for years," said Achim Feifel, sporting director of the Bayer 04 Women's team: "With her great experience, calm, winning mentality and absolute strength in challenges she really helps our defence and the whole team and she has played a significant part in our success this season."
Turanyi has played over 90 minutes in all twelve Bundesliga matches this season and scored one goal along the way. She has played a total of 98 games for the Werkself (four goals). Turanyi, who joined Leverkusen from the then runners-up MTK Hungaria Budapest, was voted Woman Player of the Year in her home country in 2022.
"I turned professional at Bayer 04, I’ve settled in really well in Leverkusen and I really feel at home here not least because my family often support me at the stadium," said Turanyi: "I've continued to develop on the pitch and as a person year-on-year. Our sporting success made the decision easier and we are aiming to achieve a lot together. I'd like to continue to help my team with my experience in the coming years."
