Season review

In the 2013–14 season, Bayer Leverkusen finished in fourth place in the Bundesliga. A very tight finish for the UEFA Champions League qualifier spot with both Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfL Wolfsburg all capable of getting fourth place. In the end, Leverkusen came back from 1–0 down to win the final game 2–1. This was a must win game for them because Wolfsburg had won their game and were in the running to finish fourth ahead of Leverkusen.

The transfer window started very early for Bayer Leverkusen as they have announced a five-year deal for Swiss international striker Josip Drmić who was previously with 1. FC Nürnberg, who were relegated on the final matchday. The transfer was announced on 12 May 2014.
