According to Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV has tried in recent weeks to bring Malik Tillman back. However, Bayer Leverkusen is not open to a loan for the American international. Club watcher Rik Elfrink reports that Leverkusen has rejected the possibility of the transfer. Rik Elfrink writes on X that the chance of a move seems almost zero.

A return to PSV for Malik Tillman is reportedly being discussed internally, according to Voetbal International. Marco Timmer stated on VI ZSM that he has had contact regarding Tillman's name. Timmer also stated that a loan deal could be of interest should Tillman not leave Germany this summer. He emphasized that a permanent return to Eindhoven does not appear financially realistic and stated that PSV will not pay thirty million for him. If Leverkusen wants to sell Tillman and he does not find another club, a loan is a potential outcome, and PSV would welcome his return.

PSV's interest in Malik Tillman and others was discussed by reporter Marco Timmer in VI ZSM.

Bayer Leverkusen is willing to sell 24-year-old attacking midfielder Malik Tillman this summer for an 'exceptional' bid. According to Eindhovens Dagblad, a return to PSV is 'not realistic' as the club cannot afford transfer fees of 30 to 35 million euros. Tillman is under contract at Leverkusen until 2030 and has also attracted interest from West Ham United.
