It is no secret that Tottenham Hotspur wish to make Mathys Tel’s stay indefinite after his initial loan move from Bayern Munich, but it is now believed that manager Ange Postecoglou has been given a real bit of encouragement as he looks to make it happen.
Likelihood of Mathys Tel staying at Tottenham uncertain
While Postecoglou is convinced that Tel is staying at Spurs for the long-haul, there is still uncertainty surrounding the 19-year-old’s future in north London.

Spurs appear to have been given a transfer boost.
Tel put pen to paper on a potential six-year contract at Tottenham, if the club opt to trigger the £45 million buy-option in his temporary deal, but German media have reported that his stay is certainly not a foregone conclusion.
Tel is believed to still be keen on a move to Man United, and he could even decide to remain at Bayern for the 2025/2026 season.
“There were also talks with Manchester United who were interested in Mathys Tel’s signature,” wrote Bundesliga insider Christian Falk on his own version of the Dailybriefing recently.

“Tel was certainly open to the move, but United weren’t prepared to pay the loan fee Bayern Munich were demanding at the time (€5m). So, you see, there was a huge difference to the offer Tottenham came to the table with. Whether Tel stays with Bayern beyond the summer or moves on, it’s entirely up to him. If he can make the step to United, he would like to do it.”
The versatile teenage attacker has already impressed in flashes since his switch to N17, so much so that sections of supporters are extremely keen to see Tel don Lilywhite next term and beyond.
While a summer move to Old Trafford or staying at Bayern hasn’t been ruled out yet, a report by GiveMeSport has shared some good news for Spurs in regard to Tel’s future.
Tottenham given “significant boost” in permanent Mathys Tel deal
As per journalist Dean Jones, writing for GMS, Tottenham have been handed a “significant boost” as they eye a permanent deal for Tel.
This comes in the form of him being very happy with life in London right now, with Tel apparently giving “indications” that he is interested in making his Hotspur Way stay permanent behind-the-scenes.
As such, Spurs are now growing increasingly optimistic about signing the forward indefinitely this summer, with Tel’s new-found stance giving Postecoglou’s side a real reason to be confident.
This follows on from Postecoglou’s comments, stating that Tel is “100 per cent” wants to be in north London.
“Yes, 100 per cent. I am more than 100 per cent sure because he took so much time, was so diligent about finding out everything,” said Postecoglou when asked if Tel really wanted to join Spurs in January.
“He had other options so it gave me more confidence that we are getting the right kind of mentality, the right kind of player.”
