In the winter market, Tottenham Hotspur signed Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on loan with an option to buy. The forward played 1,257 minutes from 20 games for Spurs, managing three goals and an assist in the process.
Tottenham have secured a €50m purchase option but have no intention to activate it. Sky Deutschland provide the latest on the 20-year-old’s future and where he could play next season.
Vincent Kompany won’t include Tel in his squad for the Club World Cup, and he will be part of the France U21 squad for the upcoming games.
At this moment in time, ‘everything is still open’ regarding his future. The report states talks are planned, first between Tottenham and the attacker, and then between the two clubs.
The Europa League winners, who paid a €10m loan fee, find the €50m purchase option too high and want to renegotiate with Bayern to lower the price.
Sky Deutschland then came up with another update on Tottenham’s efforts to retain Tel.
The player is ‘still waiting for his final breakthrough at Spurs’ and it’s unclear whether that can happen.
It’s claimed the north London club are considering extending his loan for one more season with a high loan fee and an obligation to buy. There’s no mention of any figures.
The Bavarian club are looking for a sale and it’s unclear whether they would sanction a new loan move. Sky add Bayern sporting director Max Eberl ‘continues to hold intensive talks’, most likely with Tottenham for Tel.
The Bundesliga winners may have to give in eventually or find a new club as he’s not part of Kompany’s plans next season.
