U.S men's national team midfielder Malik Tillman has joined former Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen after they activated the €35 million ($40.9 million) release clause in his PSV Eindhoven contract.
The 23-year-old replaces Florian Wirtz after his big-money transfer to Liverpool—one that broke the British transfer record—and becomes Leverkusen's most expensive ever acquisition. He's also the second most expensive USMNT player of all time, only behind Christian Pulisic's £57.6 million ($73 million) transfer to Chelsea in January 2019.
