Malik Tillman lined up for Juventus transfer as Rangers cult hero set for PSV exit

Malik Tillman is reportedly being lined up for a stunning move to Juventus just a few short months after making his PSV switch.

The former Bayern Munich starlet moved initially to the Eredivisie giants back last year on a permanent basis having previously played on loan. It was a move worth around £10million to the club with Rangers pocketing a cool compensation fee following a previous agreement. It was claimed there was a £29.5m buy-back clause in Munich's contract after he helped PSV win the title but now it looks like Juve are honing in on the playmaker.

Tillman looked set under Michael Beale to join Gers on a £5m permanent deal before Bayern ripped up the future fee clause, instead handing them £1m from their sale to PSV.

He had played 42 times for the Light Blues and scored 12 times.

Juve's new boss Thiago Motta is believed to be a fan of the American international and is reportedly willing to splash out on a new attacking option to join the likes of ex-Celtic player Timo Weah already in the ranks in Turin.

TuttoSport report Tillman joins Jonathan David on the shortlist as well as Ricardo Pepi, his club and country teammate.
