In the 2011–12 season , Bayer Leverkusen finished fifth in the 2011–12 Bundesliga .[ 1] Therefore the club qualified for the 2012–13 Bundesliga , 2012–13 DFB-Pokal and 2012–13 Europa League .[ 2]
Bayer Leverkusen rejected a bid for André Schürrle worth €25 million from Chelsea .[ 3] Bayer Leverkusen has decided not to sell Schürrle because they were "unable to sign a replacement" because suitable replacements are "too expensive" and would be forced to sign "a weaker player" who is "overpriced".[ 4] Leverkusen CEO Wolfgang Holzhäuser accused Bayern Munich coach of Jupp Heynckes "tapping up" Lars Bender .[ 5] The club had rejected an "official" offer from Bayern Munich the previous week.[ 5]
