Mathys Tel, undeterred, wants Bayern Munich stay amid Chelsea interest

Bayern Munich’s switch curiosity in Chelsea FC’s Christopher Nkunku has come like a bolt from the blue.

The Blues star has a improbable Bundesliga file underneath his belt in his time at RB Leipzig, and his return to the German high flight may present Vincent Kompany’s aspect with a much-needed spark in assault. However what about teen Mathys Tel — whom Chelsea seems to need in return?

Based on info from Sky Sport DE journalist Kerry Hau, Tel’s plans stay unchanged.

As of now, nothing has modified in Mathys Tel’s plan: he needs to remain at FC Bayern regardless of the concrete curiosity from Chelsea. The door for a departure in January can solely be opened if the membership clearly reveals him and conveys that he now not has any prospects and will depart. That has not occurred up to now.

X account @iMiaSanMia additionally captured Freund’s statements from in the present day’s press convention.

“Mathys Tel is a vital participant for us, we’re in superb contact as a result of he’s an incredible expertise and will play an vital position for us. We’ve had many discussions. Our clear aim is for Mathys to make his breakthrough with us. We’re very pleased with our squad, high quality and amount clever. In fact if a participant is sad, we are able to discuss it. Our clear plan with Mathys is for him to make his breakthrough right here,” Freund mentioned.

Freund went on to say ‘“so long as that is still the plan”, Bayern Munich won’t usher in one other attacker this month.

Earlier this month it was reported that Tel and Kompany had a “lengthy, direct discuss” which led to a reaffirmation of the teen’s want to remain and battle for his place — regardless of enjoying time not being straightforward to return again in his two-and-a-half years in Bavaria. And from Hau’s report it appears like a mortgage departure at this stage is nearly as good as a everlasting one — an indication that issues simply haven’t labored out between Bayern and the promising teenager they signed from Rennes three summers in the past.

Extra context from Hau (as captured through @iMiaSanMia) suggests a “rethink” is feasible by the tip of the present switch window ought to Tel’s alternatives proceed to be restricted within the subsequent few video games. That wait-and-see stance may complicate any efforts to incorporate him in a swap take care of Chelsea…and Bayern could should strike to land Nkunku first.
