Is Mathys Tel headed back to Bayern Munich in June?
Bayern Munich loaned out Mathys Tel to Tottenham Hotspur in January and some reports indicate that the Bavarians are more than eager to let Spurs activate his release clause.
According to a report from 90Min.com, however, Bayern Munich could be thinking about bringing Tel back to play in the Club World Cup:
Bayern Munich are considering cutting Mathys Tel’s loan deal at Tottenham Hotspur short so that he can play for the Bavarian giants in this summer’s Club World Cup, reports in Germany state.
Ange Postecoglou was confident that his February recruit would be around for the long haul. “Tel will be a Tottenham player,” the Australian coach insisted shortly after his arrival. “I think he will show everyone he will be a Tottenham player in the next six months. I didn’t bring him here for six months.”
However, Tel’s Tottenham career could be concluded after just five months. In preparation for the inaugural edition of the expanded Club World Cup which begins in mid-June, German publication Kicker claim Bayern are giving serious consideration to recalling all their loan players before the tournament begins.
Bayern Munich Club World Cup Group Stage begins vs. New Zealand’s Auckland City on June 15th, witch matches against Argentina’s River Plate and Portugal’s Benfica to follow. Harry Kane has dealt with some wear-and-tear injuries this season, Thomas Müller’s future is uncertain, and the team does not have another player who fill the void at the No. 9 if something happens with those two players.
While Bayern Munich might want to sell Tel, it might ultimately need to recall him to help ensure it has enough coverage at striker. Bayern Munich would be able to make this type of transaction because FIFA will be opening up a transfer period from June 1st through June 15th to allow clubs to bolster their rosters for the Club World Cup.
