Report: Tottenham could be set to save £20m fee in transfer negotiations with club willing to offer discount
A new update from Germany has revealed the feeling at Bayern Munich over the sale of Mathys Tel this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur set to save a sizeable amount of money if they wish to buy the forward.
Some Spurs fans are not convinced about Tel after the Frenchman failed to pull up any trees during his spell at N17, although he did show glimpses of promise.
Reports over recent weeks have indicated that Tottenham do not plan on activating the £45m option to buy Tel and instead want to renegotiate a discounted deal with Bayern.
Ange Postecoglou has been pleased with the 20-year-old’s contribution, but the Australian might not have much say in the decision, with reports over recent days indicating that Spurs are expected to make a managerial change shortly.
Bayern Munich willing to offer Mathys Tel discount to Spurs
Christian Falk has now provided the latest on the French Under-21 international’s future to FC Bayern Insider, and he suggests that the chances of Tottenham getting a discounted deal are high.
It is reported that Spurs’ option to buy Mathys Tel currently stands at £50m and confirms that the Lilywhites have no intention of meeting that asking price.
However, he revealed Bayern have decided to offload the forward as they aim to generate cash to fund the moves for their top transfer targets ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Falk claims Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has a good relationship with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and is prepared to re-negotiate terms for the forward.
The journalist suggests that the German giants could lower their demands for Tel to £30m, which will represent a £20m reduction from Tottenham’s purchase option.
Tottenham may complete double-deal from Bayern
Falk points out that Tel is not the only Bayern man that Spurs have their eye on, with Tottenham interested in signing Leroy Sane, who is out of contract this month.
The journalist says that it would be a ‘masterclass’ by Levy if he manages to secure deals for both wide-attackers this summer.
However, some outlets have claimed over recent days that Tottenham may struggle to meet Sane’s wage demands, with the winger thought to be earning more than £300,000 per week at the Allianz Arena.
