Following Wirtz's exit, Bayer Leverkusen secures the signing of a previous Bayern Munich player named Tillman. - Bid Farewell to Wirtz, Leverkusen Welcomes Back Tillman (Former Munich Player)
Bayer Leverkusen is gearing up for an exciting new season, as they welcome US national team player Malik Tillman to their ranks. The 23-year-old midfielder, who previously came through the youth ranks of Bayern Munich, has signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 2030.
Tillman is expected to fill the void in the offensive midfield left by Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool. He is versatile, capable of playing in the number 10 and number 8 positions, and is known for his strong and prolific offensive play.
The transfer fee for Tillman is estimated to be around 35 million euros, making him one of the most expensive signings in Bayer Leverkusen's history. This figure has been reported by various German media outlets, with some sources suggesting a slightly higher figure, around €40 million.
Tillman will join the team in their training camp in Brazil next week, having recently returned from international duty with the US national team. He played in the Gold Cup final against Mexico last Monday.
Bayer Leverkusen's Sport managing director, Simon Rolfes, expressed his excitement about Tillman's arrival, stating, "Malik is a strong and prolific offensive player who will undoubtedly strengthen our team."
In addition to Tillman, Bayer Leverkusen has also signed Mark Flekken, Abdoulaye Faye, Axel Tape, Ibrahim Maza, and Christian Kofane. The club recently opened a new football academy in Sao Paulo, further demonstrating their commitment to developing young talent.
As Tillman prepares to return to Germany, he looks forward to contributing to Bayer Leverkusen's success in the upcoming season. His impressive goal-scoring record, with 16 goals and 5 assists in 34 competitive games for PSV Eindhoven last season, promises an exciting future for the club.
