French international Christopher Nkunku, in need of playing time at Chelsea, could see his future take shape in Bavaria, where Bayern Munich is interested in his profile. For his part, the highly sought-after international hopeful Mathys Tel could leave the German club, even if to date nothing has been done, especially as he still aims to win in Bavaria.
Bayern Munich is juggling French players. According to our information, the Bavarian club has targeted Chelsea's French international Christopher Nkunku, whom it wishes to enlist this winter. Sports director Max Eberl is pushing internally for the recruitment of the former Leipzig scorer, luxury replacement at Chelsea.
In his desire to find playing time in line with his status as a confirmed international, the striker trained in Paris could well see himself taking the plunge to land in the Bundesliga. Christopher Nkunku is open to the idea of joining Bayern Munich, who are studying the feasibility of this transfer, if the two clubs agree. Negotiations are underway.

So discovering the Premier League?
At the same time, sports director Max Eberl also raised the possibility that young Frenchman Mathys Tel, who arrived at just 17 years old from Rennes, would take the opposite path. Under contract until 2029, Tel has only had a little playing time since his arrival in the summer of 2022.
This season, the international hopeful striker has only played a handful of minutes in all competitions, starting only three games. Despite everything, the player does not see himself leaving this winter, determined to find a place in Munich. However, it is not impossible to see him leave the club in the form of a loan or a direct transfer, to Chelsea or elsewhere, because there is no shortage of interested clubs.
Bayern maintains confidence in Tel
His case is in any case the subject of intense discussions at Bayern Munich, where not everyone seems to share Max Eberl's opinion, starting with Christopher Freund. The club's technical director publicly expressed himself in favor of a status quo in this matter, despite limited playing time, hoping that Mathys Tel would succeed in breaking through in Bavaria: “We think he is capable of it”, said assured the technical director.
“Mathys Tel is a very important player for us, we have very good exchanges, because he is an immense talent and he is bound to have an important role with us,” Christopher Freund even insisted during his appearance at a press conference this Tuesday, on the eve of hosting Hoffenheim for the 17th day of the Bundesliga.
