Bayern Munich parted ways with Robert Lewandowski with a heavy heart. They lost a striker who broke all the records in Bundesliga and they lost him to a club which is in huge debt and had to release Leo Messi just a year ago. A big blow for the Bavarians, especially since there was no proper replacement in sight: Haaland went to City, Kane is untouchable in Tottenham, Lukaku returned to Inter, Nunez moved to Liverpool…❗️X News Mathys #Tel: DONE DEAL and TOTAL AGREEMENT with Stade Rennes about a permanent deal. The 17 y/o striker will join FC Bayern. Transfer fee in total €28.5m. @SkySportDE 🇫🇷— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) July 23, 2022 But, 10-time consecutive German champions realized they needed to bring in a proper striker and not rely on Sadio Mane, who can play in multiple positions up front. And with no proper strikers available, they decided to bring in one for the future. Bayern are completely obsessed with bringing in 17-year-old French striker Mathys Tel from Rennes. Bavarian scouts have been following him for years and no one in Munich has any doubts that he is the centre forward for the coming years.Nagelsmann on Barca: “It’s the only club in the world that doesn’t have money but can buy any player”People from Munich liked him so much that they sent in numerous bids and continued to press until they came up to the sum of 40 million euros. The first offer was 17 million euros which included bonuses. But Rennes’ owner is Francois-Henri Pinault, one of the richest people in the world whose wealth is estimated at over 50 billion euros, and he didn’t really fall for the Bavarians’ first offer. Another one followed: 22 million with included bonuses. Again nothing, Rennes refused that too.##NAJAVA_MECA_6522949##But the Bavarians didn’t stop there. In fact, they realized that next year, he would be 18 years old, which means he will be a subject of bids from the Premier League clubs, who cannot bring minors from Europe since they exited the EU. So, Hasan Salihamidzic and co. Decided to raise the offer and get the player now, even though he is still very inexperienced. So, all in all, it seems that Tel will cost around 30 million including add-ons, which is a little less than Real Madrid’s transfer for Eduardo Camavinga from Rennes.
