Bayer 04 agree new deal with Paulina Bartz
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have given offensive player Paulina Bartz a long-term contract. The 20-year-old has penned a new deal to 30 June 2027.
“We are convinced of Paulina’s potential and we have full confidence in her ability. She hasn’t played the number of games hoped for up to now due to health setbacks,” said Achim Feifel, the sporting director of the Bayer 04 Women: “We are very happy she wants to take the next steps in her development here with us.”
The former captain of the Germany U19 team joined Leverkusen from Eimsbütteler TV in the summer of 2023 after having previously played for Hamburg SV. She has made 17 appearances for Bayer 04 to date. Last season Bartz was sidelined for months due to illness.
“I’m very happy at Bayer 04 and I want to develop here in the coming years and get more time on the pitch than I’ve had up to now,” said Bartz: “I will give everything with the team for us to top least season’s impressive campaign.”
