The biography of USMNT player Malik Tillman who plays his club soccer for PSV in the Eredivisie, on loan from Bayern Munich.
Caps: 17 | Goals: 2

Malik Tillman filed a one-time switch to commit his international allegiance to the United States in May 2022 after representing both Germany and the USA at youth national team levels, and immediately pushed into the USMNT reckoning. He made his senior debut in a 3-0 win over Morocco on June 10, 2022 and earned five more caps across 2022 and 2023.

A native of Nuremburg whose father was a US serviceman, Tillman is a talented, versatile attacker capable of playing the final pass as well as applying the finishing touch. He and his older brother Timothy rose through the SpVgg Greuther Furth academy before moving to Bayern Munich’s together in 2015, when Malik was 13. He shined at various youth levels for Bayern and made his Bundesliga debut with the first team during the 2021-22 season, a member of squads that won the 2020 UEFA Super Cup and German Supercup and 2022 Bundesliga titles.

Tillman excelled on loan at Glasgow Rangers in 2022-23, scoring 12 goals and five assists in 42 overall appearances en route to the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award. In August 2023 he signed a contract extension with Bayern that runs until 2026, then joined PSV on a season-long loan, quickly becoming a regular in Eredivisie and UEFA Champions League action. Tillman transferred to PSV on May 10, 2024.
