Mathys Tel failed to make a name for himself at Bayern Munich and ended up enjoying a very positive period with the loan deal he signed with Tottenham, where he won the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League title and secured a place in the Champions League. The France Under-21 international will now have the opportunity to shine more in the Premier League.
The latest reports indicate that the temporary transfer included an option to buy estimated at 55 million euros, but this has ended up being renegotiated in recent days as Spurs look to make this deal permanent on an initial agreement of €35 million, plus €10 million in possible bonuses.
As mentioned earlier, Mathys Tel was very important to Tottenham's squad even though he only played 19 games, scoring three goals and securing the club's first trophy in 17 years. Even with the sacking of former coach Ange Postecoglou, the prophecy that the youngster would become a permanent player at the end of the 2024/25 season was confirmed.
Mathys Tel is Bayern Munich's youngest scorer
Mathys Tel's breakthrough into world soccer came in 2022, when he joined Bayern Munich after making a name for himself in Ligue 1 with Rennes. Since then, he has made 83 appearances for the Bavarians, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists in all competitions.
Mathys Tel became Bayern Munich's youngest ever goalscorer in August 2022, making an immediate impact when he scored one of the goals in the 5-0 thrashing of Cologne, surpassing the previous record set by Jamal Musiala. However, a lack of space in the squad with the arrival of coach Vincent Kompany prompted his departure.
It's important to remember that Manchester United also showed interest in signing Mathys Tel during the last transfer window in January if he was available on loan. On the other hand, Chelsea also made a quick inquiry, but Spurs had already secured the signing.
