Bayer Leverkusen confirm Tillman capture | OneFootball

United States international Malik Tillman has completed his transfer from PSV to Bayer Leverkusen.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has signed a contract with Die Werkself that runs until 2030.

Leverkusen have reportedly paid €35 million to secure Tillman’s services, making him their joint most expensive signing ever alongside Jarell Quansah, who arrived from Liverpool earlier this summer.

"In Malik Tillman we have gained another player who has great ability and is very dangerous in front of goal. He can play in midfield either as a number 10 or as a number 8. Malik is an absolute top signing for us," declared Bayer 04 managing director for sport Simon Rolfes.

“His style suits Bayer 04 Leverkusen down to the ground. Our attacking game will gain a new boost thanks to Malik's dynamism.”

Tillman moved from Greuther Fürth to Bayern Munich at a young age. After loan spells with Rangers and PSV, he joined the Dutch side permanently in 2024. Now, he returns to Germany.

"This club has always played great football. But in the last four or five years Leverkusen have grown enormously and become attractive to a lot of players throughout Europe. I want to win something. That was my aim in Glasgow and in Eindhoven and it remains my aim here," said Tillman.
