Patrick Schick has renewed his Bayer Leverkusen contract by three years until 2030 and is ready to play an important role at the Bundesliga runners-up after the exit of several stars.
Czech Republic striker Schick, 29, has scored 81 goals and provided 12 assists in 168 matches since arriving in 2020. He scored 21 Bundesliga goals last season.
"With the rebuild in the next cycle at Bayer 04 we see Patrick as a motor of development," Leverkusen managing director for sport Simon Rolfes said in a club statement on Monday.
"He combines top-quality ability and an exceptional goal return with international experience and he will give the squad the necessary stability and structure."
Leverkusen famously won the German league and cup double unbeaten in 2024, but have now lost playmaker Florian Wirtz and full back Jeeremie Frimpong to Liverpool, midfielder Granit Xhaka to Sunderland and centre back Jonathan Tah to Bayern Munich.
Coach Xabi Alonso has also left, for Real Madrid, with Erik ten Hag now in charge.
Schick said he was ready to take more responsibility in a new-look team which includes summer signings such as midfielders Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven and Ibrahim Maza from Hertha Berlin, defender Jarell Quansah from Liverpool, and goalkeeper Mark Flekken from Brentford.
"I want to and will continue to contribute goals, that's my strength. In addition, I’m also looking to being a key part of the rebuild into a new team capable of winning trophies," he said.
"The future is looking good. Bayer 04 are working very hard on building a top team for the future. I firmly believe we will continue to play a leading role in the Bundesliga and in Europe in the future."
