Transfer Talk: Bayern's new manager will decide Tel's future

Posted Friday, February 23, 2024 by ESPN

Bayern Munich's next manager will be involved in deciding the future of Mathys Tel, reports Fabrizio Romano.

There has been plenty of speculation surrounding the forward's future, which has come about due to a lack of game time at Bayern.

The 18-year-old has made 28 appearances across all competitions this season, although 24 of those have come from the bench -- including all 18 of his Bundesliga matches. Even so, Tel has recorded six goals and four assists this season.

It is stated that Tel's departure would have been likely at the end of the season if manager Thomas Tuchel were to stay in Bavaria, but it has now been confirmed that he will leave after this season.

This comes with Bayern currently sitting eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the race for the Bundesliga title, while also being 1-0 down to Lazio following the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 tie.

Tel wants to stay at Bayern and loves the club, although the Frenchman still needs more guarantees regarding game time than he has received from Tuchel.

Various clubs have been linked with a possible move for Tel in the summer, with Manchester United among them.

Mathys Tel's future at Bayern Munich will ultimately be decided by the new manager set to replace Thomas Tuchel next season.
