Yurchenko became Leverkusen's fifth acquisition of the 2014 summer, following in the footsteps of Tin Jedvaj, Dario Krešić, Wendell and Josip Drmić.

"With Vladlen Yurchenko we have again signed a big talent, hoping that he will make the next step in his development here," said sporting director Rudi Völler.

"This transfer fits our philosophy perfectly, as we like to give young players a chance to prove themselves at a high level."

[3] On 17 July 2019, Yurchenko signed a two-year contract with Zorya Luhansk in the Ukrainian Premier League.

In the 2020–21 season he reached the Ukrainian Cup final, where his team lost 1–0 to Dynamo Kyiv at the Roman Shukhevych Ternopil city stadium.
