Bayern Munich likely to review Malik Tillman at Rangers as transfer news emerges
Bayern Munich are likely to review Malik Tillman in January with Rangers expected to exercise an option to buy clause in his loan deal, according to Bayern Strikes.
Tillman has been in fantastic form since the arrival of Michael Beale at Ibrox and is expected to remain at the club until the end of the season regardless due to that.
Bayern Strikes confessed that it remains to be seen what fee Die Roten will get to make a Tillman move permanent, and they were urged to include a buy-back clause.
“Bayern Munich is likely to review the first half of the season for all their loanees before deciding their approach for each player in the second half of the season,” as quoted by Bayern Strikes.
“Malik Tillman is likely to be one of the Bayern players that will continue to play for one club throughout the season. The 20-year-old forward continues to enjoy a good run of form at Rangers, as he was once again on the scoresheet for Rangers on Wednesday.
“Rangers do have the option to buy included in the loan deal for Tillman. The Scottish club is expected to exercise this clause, but it remains to be seen what fee Die Roten will get to make this move permanent in the next summer transfer window.”
Nein.
Tillman is unlikely to get any regular football at Bayern Munich and this leaves the door wide open for Rangers to make a permanent deal for him in the summer.
The competition in Tillman’s number 10 role or second forward position is rife at the Allianz Arena and he’d be better off staying put at Ibrox.
Especially since he is thriving under Beale, this could be a blossoming relationship in Glasgow and one that is perfect for the American’s career moving forward.
The 20-year-old can be offered a starting place weekly at Rangers and whilst the glitz and glamour of Bayern are nice, it’s also a realistic possibility he’d be spending most of his time there on the bench.
His improvement in form may, however, prompt Bayern into bringing him back to Germany, even if it is just to boost their squad depth.
A final decision won’t be made until the end of the campaign so there is no need to get anxious just yet, with luck, Tillman will stay and be secured for a decent price.
In other Rangers news, Andy Walker was full of praise for what he has seen from an “impressive” figure at Ibrox.
