Mathys Tel heading for Bayern Munich exit as Bundesliga rivals ponder January move

German publication BILD have reported that Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel could be heading towards a January exit from the Allianz Arena, with Stuttgart seemingly interested in acquiring him on loan should certain conditions be met.

Tel has played only 224 minutes across seven appearances in all competitions this season, which includes just two starts. After a breakout 2023-24 season, Tel was expected to take a leap under new manager Vincent Kompany. However, his progression as one of the jewels of the team has stalled this campaign, which has opened the doors to a possible loan move in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Tel had signed a contract extension until 2029 in March earlier this year. But recent developments point towards a future away from Munich. As a consequence of Tel failing to find his feet under Kompany, the Bavarians are now looking for a successor for Harry Kane, who will turn 32 next summer.

If Tel does indeed join Stuttgart — or any other club on loan for that matter — it could help him rekindle his career at the Allianz Arena in the future. Having regular minutes under his belt and playing under a coach who could show immaculate faith in the player could just prove to be what the Frenchman was missing in the past three to four months.
