The Bayer Leverkusen sporting director has insisted that Andre Schurrle and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lars-Bender-c21663 will not be sold in the closing stages of the transfer window.
Werkself started their new season with a shock loss at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Factory Squad lost the game with a 2-1 scoreline after being in the lead at the interval. The side conceded two goals in quick succession
in the second-half and started the league campaign with a loss.
The club’s sporting director, Rudi Voller, insisted that both Andre Schurrle and Lars Bender will not be leaving the club at any cost in this summer’s transfer window. The chief claimed that both players are great assets to the
side and the club could not afford to lose two of their best players.
Schurrle has been widely linked with a move to London side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 this summer as the European champions look to strengthen their side. On the other hand, Lars Bender has been tipped to join Bayern Munich as the Reds look to solve
their problems in central midfield. Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 is also linked with a move to Allianz Arena.
Voller added that the duo will be staying at the club despite speculation in the media. He added that the club does not have the time to replace any of the two players and the departure of the duo will certainly weaken the squad.
“Andre Schurrle and Lars Bender will definitely stay on. Both are among the most important players of our squad. Our team would have broken in pieces if we had allowed just one of them to leave us. We would also have been unable
to find a suitable replacement for any of them. We would simply be a weaker side without them,” the former Die Mannschaft boss was quoted as saying in an interview.
Bayer Leverkusen face stiff competition from the likes of Schalke, Borussia Monchengladbach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 for a place in the top four. The team managed to qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stages after
a fifth place finish last term in the league.
