The German tabloid reports that the Seagulls made a €45 million offer for the USMNT international on Monday, which was rejected by Leverkusen.

Brighton subsequently went on to complete a late deal worth around €23 million for VfB Stuttgart’s Chema Andrés, while Tillman remained at Leverkusen.
Leverkusen signed the 24-year-old from PSV for a reported €35 million in the summer of 2025.
Since then, Tillman has scored eight goals and provided one assist in 44 appearances for Die Werkself.
