Rangers could be due a £3.5 million windfall after former loan star Malik Tillman revealed he wants to return to Bayern Munich in the future.
The American international was a huge success during his season-long spell on loan at Rangers in 2022/23.
Tillman made his loan move from Bayern Munich to PSV Eindhoven permanent last summer in a £12 million deal, landing Rangers a reported £1.2 million windfall after the German giants had a change of heart about an agreed deal to allow the Ibrox club to sign him after his loan spell.
Rangers received the compensation after the Bundesliga club pulled out of the agreement and a further 10 per cent sell-on fee was included in the settlement.
Bayern have a buy-back agreement in place to re-sign Tillman for £35 million, which would entitle Rangers to a cool bonus of £3.5 million.
And the 22-year-old midfielder has admitted his aim is to return to Bayern in the future.
He said: "When I was at Bayern Munich, they told me that they had confidence in my qualities on the ball, but that it had to be more aggressive. That I had to fight for every ball even more often, win even more duels and second balls and win back more lost balls.

"I was told it wasn't possible for me to play in their first team yet. But it is my dream to return to Bayern in the future. Although I know they already have great players.
"I grew up in Bavaria, where my mother and quite a few people who have followed me for years live. Many people know about the clauses in my contract at PSV. But I have no intention of leaving PSV in this transfer window anyway. The club suits me."
