The sale of Florian Wirtz has made Leverkusen really rich! Grin

We are talking about a fee like 125 million euros... I wonder what's the percentage of the amount they transfer to their budget for signings.

I read they finished the signing of Malik Tillman from PSV for 35 million recently. He is AM so I guess this is for filling Wirtz's space. He had really nice stats in the Eredivisie but we will find out what he can do here.

Yes, they're not short of cash this season. From the sale of their top players, they risked many things, but on the other hand, they earned a lot of money. So far, they've earned around €190.50 million and new expenditures are around €96.50 million, so they still have more money to sign more top players.

Oh, and regarding Malik Tillman from PSV, he officially signed with Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of around €40 million. His contract is also quite long, until 2030. His position as an attacking midfielder may have been prioritized as a replacement for Florian Wirtz. But indeed, for that fee, considering Malik Tillman's performance last season at PSV, it's quite convincing, given his contribution to the club.
