“So in June I’ll reconsider my contract,” ex-captain Charles Aránguiz said last December – leaving his future at Bayer 04 Leverkusen open. The contract of the 33-year-old midfielder with the “Werkself” is valid until 2023. According to sports director Simon Rolfes and managing director Rudi Völler, the Chilean’s departure is not an issue this summer.
“He’s still under contract, we assume he’ll stay. We have no other signals from him,” said Rolfes of the “picture“. The 40-year-old takes over Völler’s position at the start of the season. The departure of the club icon was a point that made Aránguiz ponder in the winter – he owes a lot to the ex-pro since he came to Leverkusen in 2015. Only Karim Bellarabi (2011) and Niklas Lomb (2012) have been in the Bayer squad longer than the 94-time international.

Völler himself emphasized to the newspaper: “We will also have many English weeks next season, for that we need a broad squad – and Aránguiz.” The right foot is now completely fit again, which you can see. Most recently, Aránguiz played 90 minutes three times in a row. In recent years, he has repeatedly missed games due to injury.
