Official: Mathys Tel leaves Bayern Munich for Tottenham Hotspur

After much speculation, Bayern Munich has sold Mathys Tel to Tottenham Hotspur to complete a move that has been anticipated for months.

Bayern Munich released the news on its club website:

Mathys Tel has completed a permanent move from FC Bayern to Tottenham Hotspur. The 20-year-old forward spent the second half of last season on loan at the Premier League club, with whom he won the Europa League. His contract at FC Bayern was set to run until 30 June 2029. Tel moved to Munich from Stade Rennes at the age of 17 ahead of the 2022/23 season. He made 83 appearances in all competitions for FC Bayern, scoring 16 goals and winning two Bundesliga titles. During his time with the Reds, he also became a French U21 international and is currently in action at the U21 Euro in Slovakia with Les Bleuets.

Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl thanked Tel for his time at the club.

“Mathys Tel came to FC Bayern as a very young player and mastered his first steps at the top level of European football here. He was a popular figure in the squad, who always gave his all for the club and the team,” said Eberl. “The move to Tottenham has turned out to be the right one for his development. He’ll now continue this journey with Spurs. We thank him for his commitment in the FC Bayern shirt and wish him all the best for his future. Merci, Mathys!”

It is understood that the agreement between Bayern and Tottenham will be for around €35 million along with the €10 million that Bayern will have received from Tel’s loan spell that lasted for the second half of the 2024/25 season.

This is one of a series of moves that Bayern Munich is expected to make this summer to generate funds to use in July.
