"Cornelia quickly developed into a very important mainstay in our attack last season thanks to her enormous goal threat, but also due to her very high work rate, and she made an important contribution to our joint success," said Achim Feifel, Bayer 04 Women’s team sporting director: "She is a very ambitious player aiming to achieve even more. That makes her very valuable to our team."
In 2024/25, the Denmark international, who joined Leverkusen from HB Køge in her home country, became the Werkself's top scorer in her very first season. Her twelve goals in her first 22 Bundesliga games have not been added to this term as Kramer has only played four league games this term after being sidelined for several weeks with a muscle injury. The 23-year-old striker has earned five international caps for Denmark to date (scoring one goal).
"I'm very happy to be playing for Bayer 04 and feel very comfortable with all the people here, who have a lot of confidence in me. We have a great foundation we can build on as a team," says Kramer: "After the long injury break, I'm only looking ahead from now on, I want to keep scoring lots of goals and give everything for my team to compete with the top three."
