Mathys Tel has officially been loaned from Bayern Munich to Tottenham Hotspur, with an option to buy set at 55 million euros post-loan. Interest from Arsenal and Manchester United flagged due to their valuation of him, despite Tel's initial preference. Negotiations were complicated but were ultimately facilitated by a call from Spurs' Ange Postecoglou, influencing Tel's decision. Bayern Munich's CEO detailed the behind-the-scenes efforts surrounding this deal, tying it to their earlier dealings with Spurs involving Harry Kane. The loan comes at a time when Tel seeks more playing opportunities after limited chances this season.
This loan deal was special because there was a lot of confusion within less than a week. I personally had another story with Daniel Levy, so it was nice to do business with him again.
Tel himself had a preference to joining either Arsenal FC or Manchester United, but neither club wanted him as much as he felt they would.
While a phone conversation with Ange Postecoglou helped convince Tel to go to North London, both Arsenal and Manchester United hesitated due to the perceived high loan price.
Despite showing plenty of promise early last season under Thomas Tuchel, Tel had not been getting the chances he needed under Vincent Kompany so far this season.
