Leverkusen -2014 FIFA World Cup winner Christoph Kramer will return to Bayer 04 Leverkusen once his loan deal at Borussia Monchengladbach expires in the summer, after signing a two-year contract extension with his parent club.

I've become an international player during my time at Gladbach and I'm really grateful for such a wonderful time there."
