After a strong loan season at Rangers in Scotland, there were many indications that Malik Tillman was leaving his home club FC Bayern Munich for good. But now comes the surprising turnaround.
Offensive all-rounder Malik Tillman shone in Glasgow with twelve goals and five assists in 2022/2023. So it’s no wonder that Rangers would be only too happy to sign the 21-year-old.
According to “kicker” information, the European Cup participant must let the youngster go again despite a contractually agreed purchase option.
Because: FC Bayern, for its part, should have the option of rejecting the offer from Rangers – a quite unusual clause that the German industry leader appears to be making use of.
Supposedly, people on Säbener Strasse have “very well noticed” in the last few months how great Tillman has developed at his first station abroad. Therefore, there should have been a rethink internally.
The market value of the native of Nuremberg is now significantly higher than a year ago, the purchase option of six million euros that was once negotiated is simply too low for the Bundesliga club, it is said.
FC Bayern could still give up Malik Tillman
Tillman, who has been suffering from a thigh injury since April and is currently in Munich for rehabilitation, still has a working paper at Bayern that is valid until 2024.
The US international, who was voted the best young professional of the season in Scotland, could soon leave the record champions again. Both the Rangers and numerous other clubs are currently vying for him.
Apparently, another loan, for which his contract would first have to be extended, would be just as conceivable for the Bayern bosses as a sale. However, it is unclear at what sum one would become weak.
