Rangers may be set for windfall amid Bayern Munich development
Rangers already secured a seven-figure windfall when Malik Tillman left Bayern Munich to join PSV Eindhoven for £12million.
After a season on loan at Ibrox, Gers would’ve liked to have exercised the option to buy, but Bayern had other ideas.
They loaned him out to PSV, who then ended up buying him outright, but they managed to include a buy-back clause in the deal.

Rangers will be watching Tillman’s future with interest
According to the Mail on 22 May, Bayern have £35million buy-back clause in his contract, which they could exercise.
Last Sunday, Tillman lifted his second league title with PSV and his performances in the Netherlands could tempt the Bavarian outfit to make a move and sign him.

Malik Tillman’s league stats for Rangers.
In case they do that, Gers stand to benefit, which is why they will be watching the 22-year-old’s situation with interest.
Tillman also won over the fans in his one season at Ibrox and his numbers were impressive, to say the least.
In 22 league starts, he bagged 10 goals and provided four assists and was undoubtedly Gers’ most consistent performer in the 2022/23 season.

Rangers must look to make more Tillman-esque signings
Gers must prioritise signing players with the same transformative impact as Tillman to elevate their competitiveness in the Scottish Premiership and Europe.
The American, during his loan from Bayern Munich, brought flair, creativity and goal-scoring that revitalised Rangers’ attack.
His versatility, technical ability, and knack for decisive moments exposed gaps in Celtic’s dominance.
Targeting similar high-potential, young loanees from top clubs, ideally with an option to buy, allows the Ibrox outfit to access quality beyond their budget while fostering long-term squad stability.
Permanent signings of such players, like Tillman, who’s now thriving at PSV, ensure continuity and resale value, crucial for financial sustainability under UEFA’s squad cost ratio rules.
With the right scouting, Rangers can unearth gems who emulate Tillman’s dynamism, helping close the gap to Celtic and boosting European prospects, while permanent deals secure their future at Ibrox.
