Ex-Rangers man Malik Tillman completes big-money Bundesliga transfer

Former Rangers midfielder Malik Tillman has officially joined Bayer Leverkusen. 

The midfielder spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Ibrox, during which he impressed, scoring 12 goals and assisting five in 43 appearances. 

A permanent Rangers move never came to fruition, though, with Tillman returning to his then-parent club, Bayern Munich. 

He soon moved out on loan again, this time to PSV Eindhoven. His move to the Eredivisie was made permanent last summer.

After winning back-to-back Dutch titles, Tillman is now on the move again, having completed a near-on 40 million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. 

The 23-year-old has penned a five-year deal. 

Tillman won PFA Scotland's Young Player of the Year award in his sole season at Rangers. 

He netted a career-high 16 goals for PSV last term, including three in six Champions League appearances. 

"This club has always played great football," said Tillman after joining Leverkusen. 

"But in the last four or five years Leverkusen have grown enormously and become attractive to a lot of players throughout Europe. I want to win something. That was my aim in Glasgow and in Eindhoven and it remains my aim here."
