Rangers loan star Malik Tillman has been used as an example by German bosses of top talent they don’t want to lose in future after seeing another starlet switch international allegiance.
The Ibrox ace, born in Nuremberg, represented the country of his birth right up to Under-21 level before moving to the USA, who he had turned out for in the Under-15s, and has won four caps for the senior American team, although having only recently returned from injury he hasn’t been called up for matches against Grenada and El Salvador this week.
And Tillman was mentioned during a DFB press conference after Berlin-born Udinese stopper Lazar Samardzic has declared himself for Serbia despite also playing for Germany until Under-21 level under legendary Serbian Dragan Stojkovic and is involved for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Lithuania and Montenegro.
