The Tolosa coach believes this player could be very interesting for Real Madrid’s future
Real Madrid continue to follow closely the movements of Bayer Leverkusen, a club that has become a source of talent for Europe’s top teams. After closely following Xabi Alonso’s development as a coach and Florian Wirtz’s influence in the Bundesliga, Madrid’s interest is now focused on Bayer Leverkusen’s newest signing: Malik Tillman.

Tillman joins from PSV Eindhoven and arrives at Leverkusen for €35 million with the challenge of filling the void left by Wirtz. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who holds dual citizenship, arrives with high expectations after an outstanding season in the Netherlands, where he scored 16 goals despite not being a natural striker.
Calafat has him on his radar as a potential future Real Madrid signing
Tillman stands out for his versatility on the field. He can play as a central midfielder, attacking playmaker, or even on the wing, making him a valuable piece in any tactical scheme. According to DefensaCentral, his profile has piqued Real Madrid’s interest, as he was already on the radar thanks to Juni Calafat, who is in charge of talent scouting for the Spanish club.
Leverkusen, who are usually open to negotiating for their star players at the right time, provide the perfect environment for Tillman to make the final move. In Madrid, they are convinced that if he continues to develop, he could become a real future opportunity to strengthen the squad.
Moreover, with Xabi Alonso potentially taking over Real Madrid’s coaching job in the long run, the ties between the two clubs could become even stronger. Tillman has signed a contract until 2030, and Valdebebas will keep a close eye on him. This season, his performance will be carefully analyzed.
