French forward Mathys Tel has declined a £50 million transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, opting to explore opportunities with other Premier League clubs. Despite Bayern Munich’s agreement to the deal, Tel, 19, chose not to join Spurs, leaving his future open as the transfer window nears its close.
Tottenham’s technical director, Johan Lange, traveled to Munich in an attempt to persuade Tel, but the effort was unsuccessful. Manager Ange Postecoglou emphasized that the club will not beg players to join, stating, “We want players who want to be here.”
Tel’s decision has intensified interest from other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, who are now in discussions with his representatives. Manchester United has also emerged as a preferred destination for Tel, with the club proposing a loan deal with an option to buy.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, Tel’s future remains uncertain, with several clubs vying for his signature.
