Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes is in contact with Robert Andrich's management, according to BILD.

Leverkusen would not stand in Andrich's way if he sought a transfer, with the transfer fee is expected to be around €10million.

Frankfurt is still showing interest, however Andrich is keeping Eintracht waiting — because he wants to establish himself at Bayer.

He is going all out in training and acting as a leader in the dressing room, and appears motivated rather than inhibited.

Exequiel Palacios is currently slated for the defensive midfield role alongside incoming midfield talent Kennet Eichhorn. 

Exequiel Palacios is now taking a three-week vacation, while Malik Tillman is also still on leavew which has opened the door for Andrich. 

According to BILD, a decision is not expected until after the training camp in Blankenhain during the first week of August at the earliest.
