The transfer window was particularly agitated for Mathys such. After having closed the door for a long time to a departure from Bayern Munich, the Frenchman finally changed his mind after a new disappointment. Many clubs quickly positioned themselves to welcome the former player from Stade Rennais. In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund tried the ground. But the rekordmeister immediately calmed everyone since it was clear: it does not want to strengthen a direct competitor in the Bundesliga. Anyway, such did not want to bounce back in Germany.
A time cited at OM, the attacker especially caught the eye of the premier League residents. Chelsea was the first to draw. But the player immediately refused, since the competition is too important at his post with the Blues and his idea is precisely to continue regularly. Then Arsenal also entered the dance. In search of an offensive reinforcement after the injuries of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, the Londoners inquired in the final stretch of the transfer window. But it did not go further. For his part, Manchester United really advanced his pawns, for a loan.
The conversation that has changed everything
A purchase being complicated. But the conditions requested by the Bavarians have cooled the Mancunians. All of this took advantage of Tottenham, who had made a € 60 million proposal for the Frenchy. If the Germans were packed, as was less. The file had therefore fallen into the water. But that was without counting on the persuasive force of the president of the Spurs, Daniel Levy. He went to Bavaria to convince the player and explain his project to him. Ange Postgoclou also exchanged the phone with the player to detail his desires concerning him. This is where the 19 -year -old, also advised by Harry Kane, was convinced. Bayern Munich then formalized the news through an official press release.
“We are delighted to announce the signature of Mathys such as Bayern Munich, subject to international authorization and a work permit. The French international Espoirs will join the club on loan until the end of the 2024/25 season with an option to make the transfer permanent in summer. ” A purchase option set at € 55 million + € 5 million in bonuses. There is also a question of a 6 -year lease in the event of a lifted option. Because some German media suggested that this could not be the case. That is to say that the player would have his hand to leave after his loan, without the Spurs having a say. But Ange Postcoglou has already agreed on the subject.
Such will stay
“He will be a Tottenham player. I think he will show everyone that he is going to be a Tottenham player for the next six months. I did not bring it here for six months. ” The fate of such is therefore already sealed, whatever happens. The Australian then returned to their conversation which changed everything. I had the impression that if I kept it on the phone long enough, I would exhaust it. He fell asleep at the end! (Laughs) I had the impression early enough that there was a connection and that he heard what he wanted to hear. This is an important decision. He is a 19 -year -old young man in a fantastic football club. They would have been very happy to keep it there, I am sure, but he also knew that he had to play.
He added: “But not just playing. Play where it will develop. I think it is all the time to have been very meticulous in the way he made his decision, rather than just jumping on what happened to him. He is very, very interesting. When you meet him, you realize that he has this side of him as a person who has huge self -confidence and in what he can do and what he wants to do. Even if he is young, physically, he is already in a place where he can take up the huge challenges of being an offensive player in the Bundesliga and I think he can do it in the Premier League. “ Words that had to please such.
