It’s heating up for Mathys Tel as the January transfer window enters its final days. The 19-year-old Bayern Munich striker, who has struggled for consistent minutes under Vincent Kompany, is now actively seeking a move away from the Bundesliga giants, with several Premier League clubs in hot pursuit.
Tel’s Decision to Leave Bayern Munich
According to Fabrizio Romano, Mathys Tel has made it clear that he wants to leave Bayern Munich this January. The young forward has not been able to secure a regular starting role, especially with Harry Kane firmly entrenched as the first-choice striker. With his playing time limited, Tel is understandably eager to find a club where he can get more exposure and development, which is why he’s pushing for a move.
Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has confirmed that the relationship between the player and the club remains cordial, and they are open to allowing him to leave. He clarified that there is no animosity surrounding his decision, and that the club will evaluate the best options moving forward, both for the player and the club’s needs.
Interest from Premier League Clubs
The exciting young talent is now the subject of intense transfer speculation, with four major Premier League clubs all vying for his signature:
- Manchester United
United has been keeping close tabs on Tel and has emerged as one of the front-runners to land him. Ruben Amorim’s side is looking to strengthen their attacking options, particularly as they look to bring in younger, high-potential players. Tel could be seen as a perfect fit for United, who are likely to make a move if they can agree on the terms. - Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s side has shown interest, with Arsenal also looking to add depth to their attack. While they have a solid forward line, Tel’s versatility and potential for development could be appealing for Arteta, who is keen on adding to his squad with a blend of experience and youth. - Chelsea
Chelsea, too, has expressed interest in Tel. The Blues are still in a rebuilding phase, and a young talent like Tel would fit perfectly into their long-term plans. With Christopher Nkunku out due to injury, Chelsea could look to add depth to their attack, and Tel could be a great asset for their project. - Tottenham Hotspur
Lastly, Tottenham Hotspur is also in the running, with Antonio Conte always on the lookout for young talents that can fit into his high-pressing system. Tel’s ability to play across multiple attacking roles makes him a valuable prospect, and Spurs could be looking to land him as part of their attacking overhaul.
Possible Loan or Permanent Transfer?
Although Tel‘s preference seems to be a move where he can get regular playing time, the terms of the transfer remain uncertain. Given the Premier League clubs’ interests, Bayern Munich may be open to either a loan move or a permanent transfer depending on the offer and circumstances.
- A loan move could be ideal for clubs that are wary of committing a large amount of money in the current window but are still interested in giving Tel time to develop.
- A permanent move could suit Bayern Munich, as it would free up space in their squad and allow them to invest in other areas.
The decision will likely come down to Tel’s preference, the clubs involved, and whether any of the Premier League sides are willing to pay Bayern’s asking price for the striker.
The Window is Closing
With just a few days left in the January transfer window, things are starting to move quickly. Tel’s decision to leave Bayern Munich has opened the door for his departure, and one of these Premier League clubs is likely to secure his services in the coming days.
For Manchester United fans, there’s a sense of optimism given their interest in him, but it’s still unclear if the club will act quickly enough to beat the competition. Whether or not Tel chooses United or another club, this transfer saga will undoubtedly heat up in the final hours of the window.
Stay tuned as we approach the February 3 deadline, with Tel’s next move potentially being one of the most talked-about transfers of the window.
