Eva van Deursen leaves Bayer 04 Women for Spain

The 24-year-old’s contract was expiring in the summer, with the club agreeing to release her now. Van Deursen had come to Leverkusen in summer 2023 from the Arizona State Sun Devils of the US National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The former Netherlands youth international made 16 Bundesliga appearances for Bayer 04. She has played five times this season, scoring one goal.

“Due to her limited playing time this season, we wanted to open the chance for Eva to play more frequently again,” said Achim Feifel, head of Bayer 04 Women. “We wish her all the best and much success.”
