Overview
- Bayer Leverkusen announced on August 4 that Schick’s contract has been extended from its original 2027 expiry through 2030.
- Schick was the Werkself’s top scorer last season with 21 league goals and is regarded as one of Europe’s most efficient centre-forwards.
- Sporting director Simon Rolfes hailed Schick as both a clinical finisher and a leadership figure for the club’s next competitive cycle.
- Since joining in 2020, the 1.91-metre Czech striker has recorded 81 goals and 12 assists in 168 appearances.
- The deal secures a central figure as Leverkusen rebuilds its roster in the wake of departures including Wirtz, Xhaka, Tah and the expected sale of captain Lukas Hradecky.
