"Claudia has won trophies and brings lots of experience at the highest level: both in the Champions League and with the international team where she's played in many games against the top sides in Europe," said Achim Feifel, Bayer 04 Women's team sporting director: "With her pace, her strength in challenges and her vision she can give our game a boost and make us more flexible."
Since her transfer within the Austrian Bundesliga from USV Neulengbach to St. Pölten, Wenger has won the double of the Austrian league title and ÖFB Women's Cup four times in succession since 2022. Born in Steyr, she made 79 appearances for St. Pölten, including 14 in the Champions League, and scored three goals along the way. She has made eight international appearances for Austria so far.
"I had a really good feeling from the start and that was confirmed again and again during the discussions. Now I'd like to take the next step in my career here in Leverkusen," said Wenger: "I'm very much looking forward to the new season and I'd like to build on a very impressive last twelve months with the team."

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in. Today’s matchday news.
