Bayer Leverkusen - Die Herrlichkeit zurück in Leverkusen

Arnold Leaves for Leverkusen

Maximilian Arnold has today left the club for a fee of 9 million pounds to Opposing German side Bayer Leverkusen. The young German has been at our club for four years but has now left to try and better his career elsewhere. Many believe the youngster decision was pushed forward by the arrival of Belgian Kevin de Bruyne.

Arnold joins a leverkusen side undergoing major renovation with new manager Sasacha Lewandowski making ll the headlines because of his rather controversial transfers so far whilst he has been in charge.We here at Wolfsburg would like to thank Arnold for his services to the club and hope he goes on to make more of his career that he sadly was no able to do here at the Volkswagen Arena.

Castro leaves for Schalke.

Today German rivals Schalke have captured the signature of Bayer Leverkusens Gonzalo Castro. The German right midfielder has become the third departure under Sascha Lewandowski and was reportedly very saddened to depart the club. Castro has left the club for a fee of 8 million pounds and said he is looking forward to his new venture at Schalke.

"I am happy to be going to such a great club like Schalke and i think i can push on in my career to possibly help Schalke gain success once again in the league and the Champions League." Clearly Castro is happy about playing for a team like Schalke and thinks he will be able to bring success to his career which he has not been able to achieve here in Leverkusen. The general perception on Castro's sale was good that we managed to get so much money for him,but many fans also now worry that Sascha Lewandowski may be altering the squad too much which they believe will be disrupting the chemistry that the squad had created over the years.
