Bayern Munich’s new board member Max Eberl is adamant that the club wants to keep Mathys Tel following rumors the striker is of interest to MU. 

Striker Mathys Tel has shown talent since moving from Rennes for €28.5m (£24.4m) in July 2022, but has only started one Bundesliga match in almost two seasons in Bayern.

According to German press, MU has been monitoring Tel’s situation at Bayern and initial contact has been made about a potential deal for the 18-year-old. Tel’s advisor also refused to rule out the possibility of this player’s transfer in the summer of 2024.
