After an idyllic start with Bayern Munich (6 goals in 10 matches at the start of the 2023/24 season), Mathys Tel is clearly marking time in Bavaria. Not very successful with Thomas Tuchel at the end of last season with notably 20 matches without finding the net, the former Rennais does not really have the confidence of the one who succeeded him on the sidelines of Recorder Vincent Kompany. With only 224 minutes of playing time in all competitions, the French U21 international missed the mark when he was on the pitch, failing to be decisive whether by scoring or even delivering an assist.
Questioned at the beginning of November on the Mathys Tel subject at a press conference, the Belgian technician from Bayern assured that the main interested party would have a role to play at Bayern in the weeks to come. “It’s important for these positions that we have these players. We don’t have too many. Everyone has contributed to the team achieving what it has accomplished so far. Everyone will play a role and be important. There isn’t a big difference between the players. It is rather a difference in profile. Mathys is doing remarkably well and that’s why he continues to get his chance at Bayern Munich. He is a young player with a future. He must continue like this. »
Mathys Tel’s situation makes RB Leipzig, Villarreal and Werder Bremen salivate
Since this declaration, the Munich club has played 5 matches. If Tel was forfeited against Augsburg for a blow received with the Bleuets, he remained on the bench for the other 4 matches without coming into play. It is therefore difficult to find a place within the plethoric Bayern squad, particularly offensively behind the untouchable Harry Kane with Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané. From then on the possibility of a loan will clearly arise. Having a player of such a level who does not play is not good for the main interested party or for the German club.
The prospect of Mathys Tel leaving Bavaria for six months to gain playing time is making headway internally in Munich. Whatever happens, there are many clubs already wishing to recover one of the most promising attackers of his generation. According to our information, RB Leipzig, Werder Bremen and Villarreal have made inquiries and are keen on the idea of recovering the one who has the distinction of being in the top 3 of the most decisive players born in 2005 or later as of 10 goals and 5 assists in the 5 major European championships with Lamine Yamal and Eliesse Ben Seghir (12 goals and 5 assists). It remains to be seen the position of the player who is clearly not keen on the idea of leaving Munich this winter… To be continued.
