Mathys Tel, a French forward, is set to return to Bayern Munich at the end of his loan stay with Tottenham.
Tel made only two appearances for Bayern in the first half of the season.
In January, Vincent Kompany loaned the teenage attacker to Tottenham Hotspur for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
According to reports, the financing agreement includes a £50 million buyout clause this summer.
Tel has had mixed results in north London, but he began with a bang.
On February 9, he scored his first FA Cup goal in stoppage time against Aston Villa.
Tel, on the other hand, has only appeared in four league games and has played 90 minutes once.
While performances are gradually improving, Kicker reports that Bayern could be compelled to recall Tel early.
Bayern Munich will compete in the FIFA World Club Cup in Orlando, United States, in June.
Many of their internationals will be unavailable because Germany, France, and Portugal are all competing in the Nations League at the same time.
Tel’s contract with Spurs expires on June 30, but FIFA has introduced a new transfer window from June 1 to June 10, resulting in two distinct windows this summer.
As a result, with Bayern juggling an emerging injury issue and fixture congestion, Kompany will decide to recall the loan players they have sent overseas ahead of schedule.
Hiroki Ito, a Japanese defender, sustained an injury in yesterday’s 3-2 triumph over St Pauli, adding to a long list of unavailable players that includes Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies, and Aleksandar Pavlovic.
It is unknown how this would effect Tel’s professional goals.
“Why I chose Tottenham, because that was the best option for me, what was important for me.” I felt the commitment, so I spoke with the president [chairman Daniel Levy] and the management. I’m young, I’ve started to mature, and this was the best decision for me, therefore I’m quite delighted.”
It’s also uncertain whether Tottenham would want to use the buy clause.
Ange Postecoglou says he is still expecting to see the best of France’s Under-21 international.
“Mathys came at a really difficult moment for us because it’s different when you haven’t been playing consistently and then jump in, but he’s been trying to build up his fitness.
“He’s still a young man, in a different level, with different responsibilities. We are not performing well right now, unlike last night when he had numerous opportunities. Again, dealing with him since he came in, he’s got a really strong head on his shoulders, and last night, as unhappy as he was to be let go, it didn’t appear to hinder his mental capacity to deal with it, get on with it, and try to make an effect in the best manner he could.”
“[Mathys] hasn’t made the impact that he probably wanted to, but the circumstances of where we are, I think it’s unfair to put that on his shoulders. He has done as well as he possibly can.
” While his medium to long-term future remains uncertain, Tel can look forward to the return of Premier League football in midweek, when Tottenham head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Thursday night.
