Lately there has been a lot of speculation about FC Bayern and Mathys Tel. Now “L’Equipe” has even reported an agreement in principle – and it would have a lot to do with it.
According to the report, Bayern have reached an agreement with Rennes on a transfer of the French junior international (contract until 2024). According to the report, Tel will sign with the FCB for five years. The transfer fee is around 30 million euros. However, if the deal becomes official, the fixed sum will be less than 15 million euros and the rest will depend on appearances and success.
30 million euros would be an insane sum for a freshly 17-year-old. Especially since the undoubtedly very talented Tel has only made nine appearances in the professional team of Stade Rennes. He has not scored a goal. That is not much. But the striker is seen as a promise for the future, Bayern are investing in a long-term project and have great confidence in the attacker.
“Tel is a very interesting player who we have been watching for a while,” said Oliver Kahn recently: “A super strong talent.” It is also no secret that sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic and Marco Neppe (technical director) have already held negotiations with Stade Rennes, but they turned out to be tricky recently. Now it seems that an agreement is very close.
