Bayer Leverkusen is facing a tough transfer decision. The 31-year-old midfielder Robert Andrich is reportedly set to leave the club after being informed by the team that his contract will not be renewed. Andrich, who has been the captain of the team since the departure of Granit Xhaka last summer, played a key role in the team's defense last season. However, he has often struggled with his pace and has made several mistakes.
Robert Andrich wants to return to the German national team under coach Jürgen Klopp and needs playing time. The 31-year-old midfielder has already expressed his desire to leave the club last summer after being linked with Eintracht Frankfurt. However, it seems that Andrich will have to look for a new club as his contract will not be renewed.
The departure of Robert Andrich means a change in the defense of Bayer Leverkusen. The 31-year-old midfielder was a constant presence in the team last season and played 46 games. He also scored two important goals, including the winner against Borussia Dortmund and the equalizer against Arsenal.
Bayer Leverkusen has already signed top talent Kennet Eichhorn, who can fill Andrich's role in the defensive midfield. However, Eichhorn has been diagnosed with a treatable metabolic disorder and it is unclear when he will make his debut for the team.
