FC Fulham has an interest in Malik Tillman, a 23-year-old attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen. Discussions are occurring within the Premier League club regarding a summer offer, which they are considering making before the World Cup to prevent a possible rise in the American player's market value. It is reported that Fulham views Tillman as a potential successor to Harry Wilson, whose expiring contract has drawn interest from Everton, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace. Tillman was signed from PSV Eindhoven for €35 million less than a year ago and has a contract with Leverkusen until 2030. He is currently competing for a position in the starting lineup.
In the current Bundesliga season, he has made 24 appearances, scored 6 goals, and provided 1 assist. He also has 28 caps and 3 goals for the United States national team. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €30.00m. Besides Fulham, other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Liverpool, have also been associated with the player. Recent reports from April 2026 suggest a potential Liverpool offer of £60 million. Other reports indicate an offer of approximately €45 million could be sufficient. It is also reported that a buy-back clause for Bayern Munich, valued at €35 million, is active in the summer of 2026.
