Bodiac reported that Leverkusen is about to break the team's transfer fee record and sign Tillman, while the club is also paying attention to John Baccaryoko.

23-year-old Tillman is about to complete the signing. The Eindhoven midfielder completed the first part of the physical examination in the United States on Thursday, and the Leverkusen team doctor made a special trip to check for him. The deal is expected to be officially completed on Friday, with Leverkusen activate a 35 million euro termination clause to sign the offensive midfielder, setting a record for the highest transfer fee in the club's history.

In addition to Tilman, Eindhoven winger Bakayoko is also on Leverkusen's signing list. The two sides have negotiated. Bakayoko is used to kicking the right with his left foot and is good at cutting inside and breaking through. He may become the second puzzle to replace Werz. Werz joins Liverpool with a transfer fee of 140 million euros this summer, and Leverkusen is trying to fill the gap left by the German star's departure through multiple signings.

Bakayoko perfectly meets the tactical needs of the club and the new coach Tenhach. He is young, fast, can threaten goals and has high-level game experience. He previously rejected the invitation from Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi clubs. For the Belgian international, Leverkusen may be an ideal choice, with the Bundesliga, Champions League, Dutch coach, and can continue to fight alongside Tillman.

After the 2024 European Cup in Germany, Bakayoko failed to continue his peak state in the previous two years and his development stagnated. He is eager to restart his career. Since the contract expires next year, the current transfer fee is about 25 million euros, and he can transfer freely by 2026. Last year, Riyadh New Moon offered 55 million euros, but the winger refused to go to the Middle East to play.

Premier League teams Bournemouth and Nottingham also showed strong interest, but they were unable to provide Champions League qualification, and Dortmund also tried to introduce the Belgian player. The battle for Bakayoko is about to become fierce, and Leverkusen is currently in a favorable position.
