The talented young winger, Mathys Tel, has caught the eye of several top Premier League clubs. Bayern Munich has officially confirmed that Tel has expressed his desire to leave the club in the January transfer window. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are among the clubs that have shown interest in acquiring the Frenchman's services.
Tel has been struggling to secure regular playing time under the management of Vincent Kompany. Despite his potential, he finds himself behind the likes of Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane, and Serge Gnabry in the pecking order. This lack of opportunities has led the 19-year-old to consider his options and seek a move away from Bayern.
In a surprising turn of events, Tel was given a rare start in Bayern's Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday. However, he was substituted in the 62nd minute and appeared to wave goodbye to the fans. After the game, Bayern's director of sport, Max Eberl, confirmed that Tel had requested to leave the club. He also mentioned that there has been a high demand for the young winger from various clubs.
Eberl acknowledged that Tel's lack of playing time was a valid reason for wanting to leave, but he had hoped that the player would continue to fight for his place. He also revealed that there were talks about a loan or permanent transfer for Tel, but the club is still considering their options.
Bayern captain, Manuel Neuer, also weighed in on the situation, stating that it is crucial for young players to get regular playing time to continue their development. He hinted that a move to another club could be beneficial for Tel's progression.
When asked about his future, Tel remained tight-lipped, simply stating that he doesn't know what will happen. Chelsea and Arsenal have shown interest in the young winger, but Tel is said to have reservations about a move to Stamford Bridge due to the fierce competition for a starting spot. Arsenal, on the other hand, seem to have shifted their focus to Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, who are on the verge of completing their first signing of the window, are also in the mix for Tel. The Red Devils could offer him a home and the opportunity for regular playing time, especially with the potential departures of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
Overall, it seems like Tel's future at Bayern is uncertain, and the final days of the transfer window will be crucial in determining his next destination.
