Yesterday, we covered Florian Plettenberg’s exclusive story regarding United’s direct contact with Bayern over Tel.
The Red Devils are interested in a loan deal with a buy option and hope to secure the young forward while managing potential squad departures, including speculation surrounding Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
Arsenal have also explored the possibility of signing Tel.
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl acknowledged the ongoing discussions, stating:
“Whether it will be a loan or a sale, we will discuss it in the coming days and hours.”
While Tel has shown promise in his appearances for Bayern, regular playing time has been hard to come by, making a temporary move an attractive option for all parties involved.
The Bundesliga’s official website has drawn comparisons between Mathys Tel and Kylian Mbappé, highlighting their similar career trajectories and playing styles.
Like Mbappé, Tel emerged as a highly touted prospect before turning seventeen and possesses the same explosive pace and dribbling ability.
His versatility has seen him deployed across the frontline and even in midfield, adapting to different roles.
Whether playing as a winger in a 4-3-3 system or leading the line as a centre-forward, Tel has demonstrated the adaptability and raw talent that makes him one of France’s most exciting young prospects.
The final decision now rests with the player, with time running out as the transfer window nears its conclusion.
