Tillman, 22, initially joined PSV on loan before completing a 12 million euro transfer. Bayern have a 35 million euro buyback clause in his contract for the summer of 2026, and the attacking midfielder hasn't ruled out a future return to the Bundesliga giants.
Tillman said, "Obviously I can't comment on the figures, they're not that important to me! But I don't want to make a secret of it: A return to Bayern is still a dream and a big goal for me."
Tillman caused some confusion last month when he suggested that he had no say in his permanent move to PSV.
He clarified his comments, stressing that his intention was never to express discontent with the transfer. "A lot of people took the statement that way. But that's not what I meant at all. I was just trying to explain how the transfer came about.
"And that was just between the clubs - without me being asked about my feelings or wishes. That was the only thing that surprised me," he explained.
However, Tillman insisted he holds no ill will towards Bayern. "I am very grateful to Bayern. I spent eight years there and learned so much. They gave me the opportunity to take my first steps in professional football-experiences I'll never forget," he added.
Since joining PSV, Tillman has been a key figure, scoring 15 goals and providing 19 assists in 56 appearances. Despite his fondness for Bayern, he is content with his current situation at Eindhoven, where he feels supported and motivated to continue developing.
Kimmich Injury Not Serious After Germany's 7-0 Victory
Joshua Kimmich was substituted during Germany's 7-0 demolition of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday, but the Bayern Munich star has assured fans that the injury was not serious.
Kimmich sustained a knock in the second half, but both he and coach Julian Nagelsmann have downplayed any major concerns.
"It was a precautionary measure. If the score hadn't been 6-0, I wouldn't have gone off. I want to play again in Hungary," Kimmich explained after the match.
Nagelsmann echoed his player's sentiments, confirming that the injury was not a serious one. "With Josh, we don't think it's that bad. The doctor said he was lucky," Nagelsmann said.
Germany's commanding win saw Jamal Musiala score the opening goal just two minutes into the match. Musiala, who was delighted with his header, said, "That was fun. We did what we wanted to do, playing freely while still working hard defensively."
The Bayern Munich youngster added, "I'm proud of the header, I'm happy with the goal," as Germany moved closer to securing their spot in the Nations League finals.
