Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy and Spurs manager Thomas Frank
Tottenham Hotspur are set to sign Mathys Tel on a permanent contract from Bayern Munich, according to multiple reliable sources, and the forward could be joined at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season by an international winger.
Tel joined Tottenham on loan from Bayern in the winter transfer window. The north London club, who won the Europa League last season under the now-departed Ange Postecoglou, hold a £45million option to make the deal permanent.
TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, reported on June 10 that Tottenham are keen on making Tel’s loan deal permanent and were in negotiations over lowering the fee.
Sources have told TEAMtalk that new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has made it clear to the Premier League club’s hierarchy that Tel is a player he wants to work with next season.
Well-connected journalists, such as Fabrizio Romano and Christian Falk, are now reporting that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has granted Frank his wish.
Spurs are now said to be close to agreeing on a permanent deal with Bayern for Tel for £30million and making the 20-year-old French forward the second first signing of the summer transfer window after Kevin Danso, whose loan deal from Lens has been made permanent.
Bild journalist Falk wrote on X: “True Tottenham Hotspur and FC Bayern are close to reaching an agreement for the transfer of Mathys Tel (20) the Transfer-fee will be arround €35 Mio”.
