Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlović loses good friend Mathys Tel to harsh world of football transfers

Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović is one of the club’s brightest young stars and just last season he was joined in that group of special youngsters by Mathys Tel.

The young attacker was still carving out his path, but was considered to be a can’t miss prospect...until he wasn’t.

Unable to find a role under Vincent Kompany, Tel was shipped off to Tottenham Hotspur at midseason and now has moved there permanently — something that Pavlović has hated to see.

“Personally, I think it’s a pity. He was a very good friend of mine and still is. In the end, he and the club made the decision. That’s unfortunately how it is,” Pavlović told Sky Sport journalist Kerry Hau (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Tel is the latest surefire youngster to flame out at Bayern Munich, but it does not mean his career is over. In England, Tel will get a chance to prove himself in the world’s biggest league (Editor’s Note: The author gagged when typing that).
