In May 2011, Leno extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart until June 2014.[2] On 10 August 2011, he was loaned out to Bayer 04 Leverkusen until 31 December 2011.[3][4] Four days after the five months loan deal was signed, Leno made his Bundesliga debut against SV Werder Bremen.

The transfer was made permanent on 30 November 2011, when Leno received a deal that keeps him with Bayer until 2017.[6][7]
