Bayer Leverkusen signs Tillman: new record transfer for 40 million!
Bayer Leverkusen is getting serious and is about to make a spectacular signing: Malik Tillman, who has just shone at PSV Eindhoven in the last few months, could soon become the most expensive signing in the club's history. As the Mopo reported that those responsible for the club agreed on a transfer with PSV Eindhoven on Monday morning. The expected transfer amount varies between 35 and 40 million euros, which would be a real blow for the club.
Tillman will replace the previous record holder Kerem Demirbay, who moved from Hoffenheim to Leverkusen in 2019 for 32 million euros. The young midfielder and the OneFootball have already negotiated a long-term contract that will bind Tillman to the club for the next few years.
Career and achievements
Tillman joined FC Bayern as a youth, having previously learned to play football at Greuther Fürth. His development picked up speed and last summer he moved to PSV for 12 million euros, where he scored 12 goals and provided 2 assists last season. He made a decisive contribution to winning the Eredivisie title. He also made a name for himself with the US national team and also played in the semi-finals of the Gold Cup Mopo supplemented.
It remains particularly exciting to see whether Bayern Munich will make use of a buyback clause in Tillman's contract - this option could still overturn the transfer. However, this is still unclear and the football world is holding its breath. Tillman will now undergo a medical test before his move, which could be the final step towards his move to Leverkusen.
Further commitments
With Tillman, another promising player would join the team, following the previous signings of Ibrahim Maza, Mark Flekken, Abdoulaye Faye and Tim Oermann. Bayer Leverkusen seems to have a good knack for further strengthening their squad, not only with a view to the upcoming Bundesliga season, but also for international competitions.
The eagerly awaited signing of Malik Tillman could lay the foundation for a successful future in Leverkusen, and fans can look forward to an exciting summer. Let's stay tuned for what may come in the coming days - because as we know, football can sometimes change very quickly!
