Malik Tillman Rangers transfer windfall in doubt as Bayern set to repeat history on PSV
If Malik Tillman were to sign a long-term contract with PSV, Rangers would be in line for a windfall, but that currently appears doubtful.
The Ibrox team was given a sell-on clause, which meant they would receive 10% of any future transfer fee, in addition to receiving £1 million upfront when the opportunity to sign the USA midfielder permanently was taken away from them.
This was due to an option to purchase that was part of the loan that brought him to Glasgow, but Bayern had the right to revoke that option under certain circumstances, which they did.
He was subsequently sent to PSV on loan for the current season under a similar arrangement, and the Dutch team anticipated being able to make that move permanent during the current transfer window.
But according to Eindhovens Dagblad, Bayern is thinking of going back in time and changing the rules.
They once again have the option to remove the option to buy as long as they compensate PSV and it looks like they may do so.
It was thought the fee taking Tillman to the Eredivisie permanently would be around £14million meaning Rangers would land £1.4m on top of the initial £1m.
PSV technical director Earnie Stewart was previously confident the permanent switch will be sealed in January.
He said: “It is true there is an option to sign both Malik Tillman and Sergino Dest and there is an expectation we will do that with both of them.
