Switzerland midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta has admitted that he is likely to leave the Bundesliga club this summer.

The 23-year-old has been with Leverkusen for four years, but feels that the time may now be right for a fresh challenge.

He told Swiss newspaper Blick: "The chance that I'll leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer is quite big.

"I've been playing here for a long time already and I feel like I need a new challenge.

"However, I'm not leaving the club for just any team. I want to make the next step in my career and join a bigger team.

"I'm full of confidence that I'll find an interesting club."
