Bayern Munich have to maintain a fine balance in terms of incomings and departures this summer. They had a big chunk of transfer funds allocated for Florian Wirtz, but the German star has rejected Bayern and looks closer to joining Liverpool. Despite Wirtzâs rejection, Die Roten need to generate funds from sales to maintain order in their books and wage structure.
Matthys Tel is one of the players in the first team who could generate funds by departure. The French winger left Bayern in January for Tottenham Hotspur. The North London side signed Tel on a loan deal with an option to buy.
Spurs paid a significant loan fee to see off the competition from Manchester United for Tel. The Premier League side has an option to buy Tel for â¬60 million. However, Spurs are not keen on signing Tel permanently for that type of fee.
According to Football London, Spurs are expected to open negotiations with Bayern to sign Tel at a lower fee. The Premier League side has got a financial injection after qualifying for next seasonâs Champions League by winning the Europa League. They are interested in keeping Tel for next season, but not at the price Bayern want.
Tel is unlikely to feature in Bayernâs plans for next season as the Bundesliga champions were looking to facilitate a permanent departure for him in the summer.
Tel had a mixed loan spell at Spurs
Spurs ended the campaign strongly by winning the Europa League against Manchester United. However, Tel didnât have the best loan spells with the North London side. He came off the bench in the final against Manchester United when Spurs were already without several attacking players due to injuries.
Tel managed to score only three goals in six months for Spurs. He got a solitary assist in the Premier League for Ange Postecoglouâs side. However, Tel did manage to get a good amount of game time at Spurs. He featured in 19 games, racking up more than 1200 minutes in the second half of the season.
It remains to be seen if Tel wants to continue at Spurs next season. There are plenty of incentives for him to continue in North London. He will get the opportunity to play in the Champions League and get consistent game time in a competitive league. The Bavarian faithful will hope that Bayern will include a sell-on or first refusal in the deal with Spurs since Tel has the potential to big a top player in the future.
