The article appeared in the first version on June 23 and was updated on June 30 with information about an agreement of the clubs.
With the exception of the Ibrahim Maza, who was already committed during the second half of the season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen has so far been waiting for newcomers for the offensive to catch the loss of Florian Wirtz. According to reports, Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven is considered a successor candidate who has been a topic for a few days. “Voetbal International”, which recently wrote about an agreement between player and club, now reports that the clubs also agree on a transfer sum. Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano later reported on an oral agreement. However, Bayern Munich could also have a say.

The 23 -year -old playmaker, who comes from the youth of FC Bayern and in the summer of 2024 after previous loan for 12 million euros, was said to have an exit clause in Eindhoven, which is said to have recently existed. In Eindhoven, an earlier “VI” report was insisted on the fact that the clause could only pull FC Bayern in 2025.
When selling their own family, the Munich team also secured a matching right, which would allow to strike in the amount of another club’s offer. Leverkusen and the player believed that they already had access to the contract option from a certain date. PSV denies this, in the worst case, a legal dispute would have threatened. Now means that you agreed. It is about a package of around 40 million euros for the transfer, which FC Bayern could now interfere. There are currently no indications of the Munich interest.
Tillman had drawn attention last season with 16 goals and five templates in 24 games and increased its market value to EUR 32 million. He is the most valuable player in his team and the Thirdest value of the eredivisia. In Leverkusen, it should therefore be planned as a direct replacement for Wirtz. Just like the German international, Tillman can be used flexibly on the offensive.
