Robert Andrich's future at Bayer Leverkusen has taken a surprising turn.
The 31-year-old midfielder had recently emerged as a clear candidate to leave the club after new head coach Carles Martínez made it clear that Andrich would initially have only a minor role in his midfield plans. Leverkusen had therefore encouraged the former Germany international to look for a new club.
However, just days before the transfer window closes, a U-turn now appears to be underway.
Following Bayer's surprising 3-2 defeat at newly promoted SV Elversberg on Saturday, sporting CEO Simon Rolfes indicated that he expects Andrich to stay.
"I ***** ume that he will stay," Rolfes said after the disappointing Bundesliga opener.
