Report: £80k-a-Week Star Could Leave Tottenham Next Season If European Qualification Fails
Tottenham Secured Mathys Tel on Loan in January with Option for Permanent Summer Deal
According to Football Insider, 19-year-old Mathys Tel is unlikely to remain at Tottenham beyond this season if the club fails to secure European football.
Tottenham’s best shot at qualification appears to be through winning the Europa League, as their current league standing—15th—is far from promising.
To make Tel’s move permanent, Tottenham would need to pay £45 million.
However, the report suggests the club is reluctant to meet that price and will attempt to renegotiate a lower fee with Bayern Munich.
The North London side is reportedly aiming to sign him at a reduced cost.
Tel is widely regarded as one of Europe’s top young talents.
Despite this, he hasn’t yet shown his full potential in the Premier League and is still adjusting to the demands of English football.
Tottenham may not be significantly impacted if they lose Tel in the summer.
The club could reinvest the funds in a versatile, high-impact forward who can immediately contribute across the front three.
Targeting someone with the ability to adapt quickly and deliver results would be a smarter move at this stage.
As for Tel, the £80k-a-week Frenchman clearly needs more time to adapt before he can consistently influence games in England.
His future remains uncertain, but a move to a club offering regular first-team football would be in his best interest.
Bayern Munich, his parent club, is unlikely to provide him with consistent opportunities, so a permanent departure could benefit his development.
What happens next will depend heavily on Tottenham’s ability to secure European competition and on their willingness to meet Bayern’s demands—or negotiate a favorable deal for the promising young forward.
