According to Sports Boom, Malik Tillman has a significant suitor from the Premier League as Liverpool plots a £60 million offer for the USMNT star. Bayer Leverkusen will probably consider the offer as a starting point to negotiate with the Reds, as a top performance in the World Cup could potentially improve his market valuation.
Malik Tillman has found his place in the top leagues following a brilliant season with Bayer Leverkusen. The USMNT attacker, who came through the Bayern Munich academy before spells with Rangers and PSV, showed he has the quality for the big leagues.
His performances for PSV attracted interest from Leverkusen, who signed him last summer. The USMNT star has seven goals and one assist across all competitions — decent numbers for a player still very young but with bags of potential.
The summer window could see an air of change for Tillman, as Liverpool are now plotting a £60 million move. The price point would be tremendous for Leverkusen, which could make a massive profit on their investment just one year after landing Tillman.
Liverpool are in the market to improve their attacking setup, and could head towards Leverkusen to add another attacking midfielder from the club. Last summer, they signed Florian Wirtz in a big deal from the German side alongside Jeremie Frimpong, while Jarell Quansah signed for the Bundesliga giants, which has improved the overall relationship between the two entities.
Tillman might be one of the big sales from Leverkusen ahead of the summer, although they are also attracting significant interest for young striker Christian Kofane. Liverpool are looking at several attacking options in the window, including RB Leipzig’s Yan Diopmande, as Tillman could be seen more as a smart investment for the present and future.
With Tillman set to play a starring role for the USMNT at the World Cup, some top-notch performances over the summer could even help surge his valuation. At the moment, the potential offer from Liverpool could be seen as sufficient, but any decision will have to come from Leverkusen on whether they are eager to sell one year after signing the 23-year-old American.
