‘Honestly, If We Get Him For £5M, It Is A Steal’ ‘A Cracking Bit Of Business’ Rangers Fans Excited As Beale Provides Transfer Update
Rangers manager Michael Beale has confirmed that the Light Blues intend to trigger their option to sign Malik Tillman on a permanent basis from Bayern Munich.
Speaking before the American international scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Dundee United on Saturday, Beale said that the club want to keep the midfielder at Ibrox:
“[Director of football] Ross [Wilson] is talking to Bayern. We obviously want to activate the clause we’ve got.”
Supporters on Twitter are delighted that Tillman is set to remain with the Gers, although a few are still doubtful that Ross Wilson will manage to get the deal over the line:
Honestly if get him for 5m it is a steal as he will become a world star.

If Wilson can get it done, it'll be a cracking bit of business.

£5m is a very good deal. if the player has the right attitude he will become a tremendous player; he so so young still. £5m is a bargain in todays market

Enormous if we can get this lad permanent. Especially alongside Cantwell and Raskin. Get Lawrence fit as well and maybe Hagi back to himself. Leagues easy next year.

Wouldn’t trust Wilson to pick my nose.

There are a couple of complicating factors that fans should be aware of. Beale has confirmed that Tillman has an option to say no to a permanent move, while Bayern’s decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann and appoint Thomas Tuchel as manager could also affect the situation.
Everything at the moment, though, does point towards the 20-year-old staying in Scotland beyond the end of the season.
