For this rule breach, he was banned by FIFA for one year, but was able to stay in the west, joining Bayer Leverkusen, where he stayed for five years, moving to 1. FC Köln in 1988. With Bayer Leverkusen, he won the UEFA Cup in 1988. He scored in the second leg of the final against Espanyol, one of three goals needed to equal a 3–0 deficit. Leverkusen eventually went on to win the game on penalties. He had spells with Galatasaray (1992–1994), Saarbrücken (1994–1995), and Hertha BSC (1995–1997) before retiring, to take up the role of Hertha's reserve team manager.
