Bayern Munich have won the race to sign Mathys Tel, a promising 17-year-old striker who will also attract interest from big clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus and Newcastle.
According to Christian Falk, head of football for German newspaper Bild, Tel is now in Munich to undergo a medical and all indications are that Bayern will announce his signing in the next few hours.
Tel himself said goodbye to Rennes fans on Sunday through a letter published on his Instagram account. The very young striker arrived at the Breton club in 2020 and in August 2021 he became, at 16 years and 110 days, the youngest player to make his first-team debut in its entire history. A record currently held by Real Madrid player Eduardo Camavinga.

Bayern will pay Rennes around 20 million euros plus another 8.5 variable and Tel, despite his youth, will help Senegalese Sadio Mané, signed from Liverpool, to alleviate the departure of Robert Lewnadowski at FC Barcelona.
insistence of Bayern
Bayern’s insistence has finally paid off as, according to L’Équipe, they have already made several offers this summer for Tel, an Under-18 international and European Under-17 champion last June with France .
In total, Tel played 10 official matches for Rennes last season -seven in Ligue 1, two in the Conference League and one in the French Cup- in which he played just 79 minutes.
