Nottingham Forest poised to land Bayern Munich young star Mathys Tel

Nottingham Forest are reportedly eyeing a move for Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel, according to Sky Deutschland.

Forest have already made contact with the German club as they look to bolster their attacking options. The 19-year-old forward has drawn attention from multiple clubs, with Bundesliga side Werder Bremen also keen on securing his services.

Mathys Tel’s career trajectory has been impressive, particularly given his early versatility on the pitch. Initially starting out as a centre-back, Tel showcased remarkable adaptability and technical prowess, quickly transitioning to an attacking role. His ability to play in various positions—whether as a central striker, winger, or even in a deeper role—has made him a valuable asset for Bayern Munich. With his exceptional game intensity, agility, and technical skills, Tel has proven capable of excelling in almost any area of the field.

Since joining Bayern Munich, Tel has featured in 76 games for the Bavarian giants, scoring 16 goals and providing 6 assists. His potential was evident early on, and at just 19 years old, he became one of the youngest players to make an impact in the Bundesliga and Champions League. However, this season, Tel has struggled for regular playing time, having appeared in only 7 games without scoring or registering an assist. Despite this, his raw talent and ability to create chances continue to attract interest from other clubs.

Tel’s international career has also shown promise. The French youth international has played 5 matches for France’s U21 team, scoring 2 goals. His performances at the youth level suggest that he has a bright future ahead, and this has only added to his value on the transfer market.

In March 2024, Tel signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich, which now ties him to the club until 2029. However, despite his long-term commitment to Bayern, reports suggest that the club may be open to loaning him out in January to allow him more first-team experience. While Bayern are reportedly willing to consider a loan deal, it remains unclear whether Tel himself is open to leaving the club temporarily. The young striker has expressed some uncertainty about a potential loan move, which may complicate any negotiations.

For Nottingham Forest, a move for Tel could provide a major boost to their forward line. Known for his ability to stretch defences and create goal-scoring opportunities, Tel would add further depth to Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad. Given his versatility and potential for development, the French striker could be an exciting addition to Forest’s attacking options if a deal can be agreed.

With Bayern Munich willing to consider loan offers for Tel, Forest will likely continue to monitor the situation closely in the coming months. Whether a move materializes in January or later remains to be seen, but for now, Tel’s future is one to watch closely.
