New Delhi: Bayern Munich have been credited with grooming a lot of young stars on their books with the likes of Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies, and Kingsley Coman, all joining the club at a young age before becoming world beaters in their position.
They have another such young star on their books in but it seems like his future now lies away from the Allianz Arena after getting frustrated with not getting enough minutes. French youngster Mathys Tel is a highly rated year-old attacker who has attracted interest from all over Europe this January. His career started well at the Allianz Arena quickly making records for the club in his first few appearances. He became the third youngest player to ever debut for Bayern Munich and became their youngest ever goal scorer at 17 years and days during their win over Viktoria Cologne in the DFB-Pokal in Born in Sarcelles, a suburb of Paris, Tel developed his game at various local clubs before joining the prestigious Clairefontaine academy, the same one responsible for stars like Thierry Henry, Nicholas Anelka, William Gallas, and the current poster boy of French football, Kylian Mbappe.
His performances at youth level, particularly as captain of the France U17 team that won the European Championship in , further solidified his reputation. He has had a curious career so far as the year-old started his career all the way back in the center of defense due to his defensive acumen and reading of the game. However, his technical skills and attacking instincts made him a natural fit for a more advanced role. With Musiala, Olise, and Kane all ahead of Tel in the pecking order, he has barely had any game time this season, making only eight appearances in the league, starting only twice.
This has frustrated the year-old and he has now demanded a move away from the club. It is reported that the youngster has as many as seven proposals from different clubs to take him on loan, which includes clubs in the Premier League and across Europe. English giants Chelsea are also amongst those interested in the Frenchman and are looking to acquire his services of a permanent basis in this window as they look to increase competition for Nico Jackson.
