Timothy Tillman is only 18 year old but the scouters of the biggest clubs in Europe are following him. Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid or Manchester City have put their eyes in the young player, who has the double nationality from Germany and the United States.

He’s currently playing in the young team of Bayern Munich in the role of offensive midfielder. We could see him already playing the Young League and standing out from the rest of team mates. He doesn’t have a professional contract yet, although Uli Hoeness, Bayern Munich president, knows that they could lose one of the best players of the future.

According to MARCA, FC Barcelona have already taken advantage of this situation and they are in talks with the Tillman’s agent, Christian Rossner. He said to the German newspaper Bild: “We had an offer from Barcelona. They’ve been following him for some months and they want to sign him for the next year. Barcelona’s plan was that he will play with the young team and he could also train with the first team, so he could have a spot in the first team in two or three years time”, Rossner commented.

The scouters boss in FC Barcelona, Pep Boada, also travelled to Munich to watch Tillam playing in live. The Blaugranas want to rush and close a deal soon, because they know that Hoeness doesn’t want Tillman to leave and some European clubs, among them Real Madrid, would like to sign the young playmaker. However, Tillman said in the past that he would like to join FC Barcelona.

Tillman has a contract until June 2018 with Bayern Munich. Barcelona would have to pay around 180.000€ to the German club to get Tillman because the player refused to sign a professional contract, so they’d only have to pay for the formative rights.
