Tottenham discount Mathys Tel deal could depend on big Daniel Levy decision
A new report has shed light on Mathys Tel’s upcoming decision on his future, and one big factor that could potentially influence whether the forward seals a permanent switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.
After a tough start to life at Tottenham Hotspur, the man on loan from Bayern Munich appears to have turned the tide over recent weeks, delivering some eye-catching displays on the left.
Ange Postecoglou has insisted that he has been happy with Tel’s progress, but some doubts have been raised over recent weeks over whether Spurs will activate the £45m option to buy the 19-year-old.
In fact, some sources from Germany have reported that Tottenham have decided to renegotiate a discounted deal for Tel rather than activating the option to buy.
Mathys Tel’s Tottenham move could depend on Ange Postecoglou’s future
The Times have now revealed that Tottenham remain keen to take up the option to sign the forward permanently this summer.
However, they back up what other sources have claimed over the course of this month by explaining that Spurs would ideally like to sign Tel at a reduced price and would prefer to renegotiate the clause with Bayern.
Interestingly, it is revealed that the France Under-21 international’s decision could depend on whether Postecoglou stays or leaves, as it was the Australian who persuaded the youngster to make the switch to N17 in January.
The publication adds that the decision could also be influenced by whether Spurs secure Champions League qualification via the Europa League.
Ange Postecoglou’s fate appears to have been sealed
There appears to be no ambiguity over the Tottenham head coach’s future if reports over recent days are to be believed.
It has been claimed that Postecoglou is expected to be sacked by Spurs even if wins the Europa League.
If Tel’s decision on whether to sign for the Lilywhites depends on the Australian’s future, then Tottenham’s chances of sealing a permanent move do not appear great.
