Liverpool readying a bid for Malik Tillman
Liverpool is prepared to come forward with an official offer to sign the United States international in the summer. They could offer £60 million to get the deal done, according to Sports Boom. It remains to be seen whether the German outfit is prepared to sanction his departure. They paid £30 million for the midfielder, and a sale to Liverpool could see them double their investment.
The 23-year-old could be excited about the possibility of moving to the Premier League. Liverpool is among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for the young midfielder. Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential. The player has seven goals from midfield this season and has the technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League.
Liverpool have other priorities over Tillman
Meanwhile, Liverpool needs to improve multiple areas of their squad, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to move forward with a £60 million deal for the United States International. Signing a defensive midfielder should be a top priority for them instead. They have looked quite vulnerable at the back, and a reliable defensive midfielder would plug a huge weakness.
Tillman is a talented player with a bright future, but Liverpool have players like Florian Wirtz and Alexis Mac Allister at their disposal, who can score goals and create opportunities from the central areas. Meanwhile, Chelsea wanted to sign Tillman last year.
