Boniface’s clubmate refuses Bayern Munich return
According to reports from Germany, Stanisic has made it clear that he wants to continue his stay at the BayArena, rather than returning to the Bavarian giants.
The player has enjoyed a significant increase in playing time and trust under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, which has been a driving factor behind his decision.
"Josip Stanišić does not want to return to Bayern this summer and would like to stay in Leverkusen,” a report by Bavarianfootballwork stated.
“He informed the club of that. Still no talks between clubs - talks expected to take place after the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether Bayern will sell to a direct competitor."
Stanisic has been a revelation for Leverkusen, contributing with some crucial goals throughout the season, including late winners that have helped preserve their incredible unbeaten streak.
This development is sure to be a talking point through the Bundesliga as Leverkusen look to cement their status as the new powerhouse in German football.
The battle for Stanisic's future is set to be one of the most intriguing storylines of the upcoming transfer window.
