Bayer Leverkusen have announced a contract extension for Arthur, securing the 23-year-old’s services until June 30, 2031. The full-back has agreed to extend his existing deal, which previously ran until the summer of 2028, by an additional three years.
Sporting director Simon Rolfes highlighted Arthur’s potential impact on the club’s future, stating the club views him as a player capable of significantly shaping Bayer Leverkusen’s trajectory. Rolfes also acknowledged the setbacks Arthur has faced due to injuries, which have hindered his progress toward becoming a top player.
Arthur joined Bayer Leverkusen with a reputation for technical skill and attacking intent, though injuries have limited his consistent game time. He has made 63 appearances for the club across all competitions, contributing defensively and offering an outlet in wide areas. The club’s decision to offer a long-term extension despite these challenges underscores their belief in his recovery and future contributions.
“The contract extension is an impressive show of confidence and demonstrates how much they believe in me,” Arthur said, expressing his gratitude to the club. He also praised the “family-like atmosphere” at Leverkusen, stating the club has provided him with a sense of home. He pledged to repay the club’s faith through consistent performance and dedication.
This extension provides Leverkusen with stability at a key position and signals a long-term commitment to a player they clearly value. The move strengthens their squad as they continue to compete in the Bundesliga and European competitions, and potentially positions Arthur as a cornerstone of the team for years to come.
