Mathys Tel has had a very rough Hinrunde at Bayern Munich. Anyone who has paid attention to the Bavarian giants recently will be very aware of this, too, since the rumors about his departure have been growing.
After all, despite his poor season to date, the U-21 France international has a lot of fans. There have already been many inquiries for the youngster in previous transfer windows and they were all rejected, but clubs just keep coming back to check up on his status. Twitter account @iMiaSanMia captures a report that claims it can identify five of these admirers:
Stuttgart, [Werder] Bremen, Augsburg, Lazio and Valencia are among many clubs interested in signing Mathys Tel on loan.
Notice the specification that these five clubs are simply among the clubs interested, not the sum total. Just how many clubs want to sign Mathys Tel? It may also be somewhat farcical that Augsburg are one of the clubs looking for a loan, considering they already have Bayern loanee Yusuf Kabadayi in their squad and struggle to give him opportunities to play. Would a loan for Tel not just kill any remaining chance for Kabadayi to feature? Why would Bayern do that?
Still, the incredible amount of interest is a good thing: If the €28 million transfer from Stade Rennais does decide to leave, he will have a host of fantastic options to choose from.
