Christoph Kramer Says He Will Return to Bayer Leverkusen Next Summer
Christoph Kramer has confirmed he will return to Bayer Leverkusen during the Summer of 2015.
"I have a contract with Leverkusen and will play there after the summer. That's the current situation", Kramer told Germany's 'Sport Bild' magazine, according to Marca.
The German international is currently on loan at Borussia Mönchengladbach but has a contract with Leverkusen until 2017. Speculation has suggested that the World Cup winner was linked with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal but Kramer insists he will return “..not because I have to but because I fully believe in their concept.”
Leverkusen’s sports director Rudi Voeller is not only looking to have the 23-year old back on his side, but also aims to renew his contract until 2019 or 2020.
Although Kramer insists he will return to Leverkusen this summer, he does not rule out a future with a top European clubs.
"Playing abroad could be interesting at some point in the future but, for now, the 'Bundesliga' is the measure of all things.”
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has admitted interest in the midfielder. As quoted by AS, the Italian boss said "I can't speak about players who aren't at Madrid and all I will say is that he's a player I like a lot. I like a lot of midfielders."
Ancelotti's interest seems to have been put on the back-burner by Kramer, as a return to Bayer Leverkusen is the only definite in his future.
Leverkusen currently sit in fourth in the Bundesliga and ironically host sixth-placed Moenchengladbach on Sunday.
