In search of offensive reinforcement this winter, Olympique de Marseille is closely examining the situation of Mathys Tel, a promising young attacker from Bayern Munich. Although the German club has expressed its desire to keep the 19-year-old player, OM is not closing the door to this option and remains on alert in this matter.
An underutilized talent in Bavaria
Since the start of the season, Mathys Tel has only started on rare occasions in the Bundesliga, with only eight appearances for limited playing time. This situation, combined with his notable absence during the last match against Friborg (2-1), fuels speculation about a possible departure on loan. Formerly of Stade Rennais, Tel is seen as an ideal profile by Marseille leaders, who are seeking to densify their offensive sector.
OM ready to take action
According to The TeamMarseille decision-makers are monitoring the striker's situation very closely and would be ready to make an offer if Bayern were to reconsider their position. However, OM are not alone on this issue: Frankfurt and Tottenham are also said to be interested in the player, adding competition to a potential negotiation.
-A complex but open file
If Bayern remains inflexible for the moment, Tel's future could be decided in the final hours of the transfer window, giving OM a chance to strike a big blow by recruiting one of the most promising young French talents.
