Malik Tillman has revealed he will hold talks with both Michael Beale and Thomas Tuchel before deciding where his future lies.
The German midfielder is on a season-long loan at Ibrox with the club holding an exclusive option to sign the player on permanent terms.
However, Tillman has delayed any decision on his future beyond the summer as he insisted he will only be able to decide after discussions over his position and plan for the future at each club.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I think I have to listen to both managers the Rangers one and Bayern one and see what they say and where they see me and see what the plan is for the future and then I can decide.”

Beale previously revealed progress has been made in the quest to sign Tillman on permanent terms at Ibrox.
And team-mate Todd Cantwell is desperate for close friend Tillman to agree a switch to Glasgow on a full-time basis.
Cantwell said: “As a Rangers player but also as Rangers fans he’s the sort of player you want to keep here. He’s only going to get better as he gets older which is pretty scary actually.
“We want him here. He’s a fantastic footballer and I think he’s pretty aware of how much he is loved here.”
🗣️ "We're building, we're not the perfect model yet. The manager's made it clear what team we want to be & it's really exciting."

Discussing Tillman's situation ahead of the summer, Beale said "a lot of things are agreed" with Bayern Munich.
"There's an option there that we can take," he said. "But like all all things, the player has a say in it as well and so does the club that he's at.
"A lot of things are agreed, but obviously there's been a change of manager there as well, that's not a part of the negotiations that I'm involved in, but I'm fully up to speed on that.
"There were more talks on that over the international break as well, so everything at the moment is positive.
