Recent reports have surfaced claiming that Chelsea has expressed interest in signing Bayern Munich's talented winger, Mathys Tel. However, it seems that the 19-year-old has rejected the move and is determined to stay with the Bundesliga giants until the end of the January transfer window.
Sources in Germany reveal that Chelsea had been considering the possibility of bringing Tel to Stamford Bridge earlier this month. However, the young winger had his sights set on remaining at Bayern for the remainder of the season. It seems that things have changed, as Tel is now eager to leave the Bundesliga leaders due to his lack of playing time under manager Vincent Kompany.
According to Bild, Tel has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham. However, the report suggests that the talented youngster has made it clear that he will not be joining Chelsea due to the fierce competition for a starting spot in Enzo Maresca's squad.
It appears that Tel is looking for a fresh start elsewhere and is open to the idea of a short-term loan or a permanent transfer. Since his move from Rennes in 2022 for a whopping €28.5 million, he has struggled to establish himself as a regular in Bayern's first team.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is still on the hunt for a new attacking option and has been in talks with Manchester United for Alejandro Garnacho. However, no official offer has been made for the Argentine international. Arsenal, on the other hand, has maintained their interest in Tel since his move to Bayern and could make a move for him before the transfer window closes. Manager Mikel Arteta is looking to bolster his attacking options following injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.
Tel has only started two Bundesliga games this season, with Kompany preferring to use Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, and Leroy Sane on Bayern's left flank. Last season, the talented winger scored seven goals and provided five assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances. It's clear that Tel has a lot of potential, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up in the coming weeks.
