Tottenham in Talks with Bayern over Mathys Tel Transfer

Tottenham Hotspur are in ongoing negotiations with Bayern Munich to secure the permanent signing of French forward Mathys Tel, who spent the latter half of last season on loan at Spurs. Despite struggling to become a regular starter under former manager Ange Postecoglou and contributing modestly with three goals and one assist, Tel helped Tottenham win the Europa League and has shown potential that has garnered interest from new head coach Thomas Frank. Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl confirmed that talks are underway but did not disclose specific terms, while indicating that Tottenham aims to negotiate a fee lower than the original £45-50 million option to buy. Tel, who is currently participating in the European Under-21 Championship with France, is reportedly eager for more regular playing time, which Tottenham is better positioned to offer than Bayern. Spurs remain optimistic about reaching an agreement, with Bayern reportedly open to a discounted deal to offload the 20-year-old forward. The outcome of the negotiations will depend on whether Spurs consider the financial terms worthwhile given Tel's mixed performances during his loan spell.
