Manchester United target Mathys Tel signs new Bayern Munich deal after Thomas Tuchel announcement
Manchester United’s aspirations to secure the services of Mathys Tel this summer have been dashed as the striker opted to extend his stay at Bayern Munich, signing a new contract with the German giants.
Amid speculations surrounding his future at the Allianz Arena, the French forward emerged as a prime target for Manchester United, who were eager to bolster their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season. United’s interest in Tel became apparent in February, with manager Erik ten Hag expressing a desire to augment the squad’s offensive firepower, complementing the likes of Rasmus Hojlund.
Tel’s prospects at Bayern seemed uncertain, especially given his limited opportunities under manager Thomas Tuchel. However, the situation took a significant turn when Bayern announced Tuchel’s impending departure from the club at the end of the season. With the managerial landscape poised for change, Tel found himself at a crossroads, contemplating his future with the Bavarian outfit.
In response to the evolving circumstances, Bayern swiftly moved to secure Tel’s services, offering him a new contract that extends his tenure until 2029. The decision to commit to Bayern reflects Tel’s dedication to the club’s objectives and his desire to contribute to its success on the pitch.
In his statement following the contract extension, Tel expressed his unwavering commitment to Bayern Munich, emphasizing his determination to excel, score goals, and create opportunities for his teammates. He affirmed his allegiance to the club and its passionate fanbase, vowing to uphold Bayern’s tradition of excellence and compete for trophies on all fronts.
