Bayern Munich director makes big Mathys Tel to Tottenham admission
Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has made an admission about the discussions with Tottenham Hotspur regarding Mathys Tel and has revealed what the forward wants to do this summer.
While the Frenchman showed some glimpses of his promise during his loan spell at N17, he failed to set the world alight and did not manage to become a regular in Ange Postecoglou’s starting eleven.
It has been widely reported by several sources that Tottenham will not activate the £45m option to buy Tel and will instead negotiate a discounted deal with Bayern.
It was even claimed last week that Spurs may look to sign Tel on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy next summer, although it remains to be seen if Bayern would entertain such an offer.
Bayern Munich admit Mathys Tel talks with Tottenham
The Bayern director of sport has now confessed that conversations are ongoing with Spurs regarding a deal for the 20-year-old, but he refused to get into the specifics of the talks.
The 51-year-old said (via Goal.com): “Mathys was at Tottenham for six months. He wanted to play in the U21 European Championship with France, and we allowed him to. We’re talking to Tottenham, that’s no secret. We’ll see how that pans out.”
Some sources over recent weeks have said that Bayern are open to offering Spurs a discount on Tel, with the Bundesliga giants keen to offload the forward.
What Thomas Frank thinks about Mathys Tel
It was reported a couple of days ago that new Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank has already had a conversation with the North London club’s hierarchy over the Frenchman.
According to TEAMtalk, Frank has greenlighted the permanent signing of Tel, with the Dane keen to have the young forward in his Spurs squad.
The outlet claimed that the 51-year-old sees the Bayern Munich youngster as a good fit for his dynamic system, while he also values the 20-year-old’s work rate and adaptability.
