Malik Tillman the £120m star! USMNT ace gets huge transfer billing after completing permanent move from Bayern Munich to PSV

The 21-year-old forward has enjoyed a productive loan spell in Eindhoven during the 2023-24 campaign, with Eredivisie title glory being savoured. A £12m ($15m) purchase option has now been taken up, with Tillman severing ties with Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich.

He has penned a four-year contract with PSV, as they seek to unlock further potential in his game, and the expectation is that the exciting playmaker will scale even greater heights during his time in the Netherlands – allowing his price tag to soar.

Former Ajax star Kenneth Perez, who knows all about life in Dutch football, has told Dit was het Weekend of how good Tillman can become: “Arne Slot always says at Feyenoord that his players must first learn to work hard and apply pressure. If Tillman also learns that at PSV, then they have really made a good move. That £12 million will soon become £120 million. I really thought he was great, especially in the second part of the season, in everything actually. Even in defending, which he has become very good at. He's the best player at the club and there is much more to come from him.”

Tillman has registered nine goals and 15 assists for PSV this season, with opponents struggling to contain his creative qualities. The USMNT will be hoping to put those to good use this summer when they open a quest for Copa America glory on home soil.
