Defender Juliette Vidal joins Bayer 04

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have signed defender Juliette Vidal. The 25-year-old French player, who made a guest appearance in last Saturday's friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1), arrives from Belgian champions RSC Anderlecht and has been handed a contract until 2026.

"Juliette is very versatile in defence and can be deployed both centrally and on the flanks. Her build-up play with her left foot is particularly impressive and fits perfectly into our requirements profile," said Achim Feifel, Bayer 04 Women sporting director: "She has a lot of experience and was outstanding in Anderlecht's championship-winning season."

The left-footed player made 16 regular league appearances for Anderlecht last season and ten in the championship round. In the 2022/23 season, Vidal scored two goals in 14 league appearances for Basel in Switzerland, and the year before she made eight appearances (one goal) for Saint-Étienne in her home country of France.

"I'm really looking forward to the sporting challenge here in Germany. The decision to make the move was very easy for me because Bayer 04 offer an ideal framework and conditions," says Vidal: "I can help the team with my strength in tackling and my technical skills."

The Bayer 04 U19 team lost 1-0 to Inter Milan on the sixth and final matchday in the league phase of the UEFA Youth League 2024/25. The only goal of the game was scored just after the hour mark. While the side from North Italy have finished top in the league phase with a maximum points return, the Leverkusen team appeared to have just missed out on the knockout stages of the European competition. There is faint hope looking to several games to follow where results are needed to go the way of the Werkself.
