Overview
- Amiri announced at a fan evening in Kirchbichl on Saturday that he and his family had decided he will remain with Mainz for the 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
- Reporting says his contract runs through the summer of 2028, which removes immediate uncertainty over his availability for the club.
- The decision follows weeks of transfer links and reported offers, including strong media speculation about interest from RB Leipzig.
- Coach Urs Fischer and Mainz’s pre-season plans gain continuity because Amiri is a senior international and a primary creative midfielder for the squad.
- Amiri joined Mainz from Bayer Leverkusen in January 2024 and has since become a key player for the club and Germany, so his choice affects Mainz’s recruiting and tactical plans ahead of the season.
