Mathys Tel Rejects Manchester United Move

Following two unsuccessful bids, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have halted their negotiations over Mathys Tel. Another significant turn has been added to the Frenchman’s strange January.

After rejecting a permanent transfer to Tottenham earlier in the week for €60 million, Tel agreed to a move to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. Negotiations between the club were challenging, nevertheless, as was already recognized when the news first surfaced.

Man Utd had offered a loan, which was exactly what Tel wanted. However, Bayern rejected the idea and insisted on a long-term contract or at the very least a loan with a buyout clause.

Tel’s previous decision to reject Tottenham, which would have allowed the Bavarians to make a €40 million profit on a youngster who has battled to establish himself in the first squad, is sure to have angered Bayern, who need to raise money following a summer of extravagant spending.

After the Bundesliga powerhouses turned down a second, better offer for Tel, Ben Jacobs and Sky Germany now claim that negotiations between Manchester United and Bayern are off the table.
