Bayer Leverkusen may entertain a big-money exit for Malik Tillman
Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly willing to sell midfielder Malik Tillman if a sizable offer materialises, according to a Sky Germany report.
According to reporting by Sky Germany, Bayer Leverkusen is open to transferring attacking midfielder Malik Tillman if a lucrative bid emerges. The 24-year-old, who arrived from PSV Eindhoven for €35 million, carries a release clause that the club could activate. Tillman told Sport one outlet that he remains undecided, preferring to assess the plans of new head coach Carles Martínez before committing to a move.
He characterised the 2025/26 campaign as the poorest of his career and blamed limited support and a difficult rapport with former manager Kasper Hjulmand. While he acknowledges the pressure of his price tag, Tillman says he will wait to see whether the new coaching setup improves his situation.
Why it matters
A potential high-value transfer could reshape Bayer Leverkusen's squad and affect the USMNT's midfield options.
