Bayern Munich director Christoph Freund has responded to reports linking young forward Mathys Tel with a move to Chelsea.
Freund reiterated Bayern’s commitment to the player’s development while leaving the door open for discussions if Tel is unhappy at the club.
“Mathys is a great talent and should play an important role for us,” Freund stated. “Our clear goal is for Mathys to make his breakthrough with us.”
He added, “Of course if a player is unhappy, we can talk about it. But we are very happy with him.”
Chelsea have reportedly shown interest in the 18-year-old, who is seen as one of Bayern’s most promising young players. While Bayern remain keen on keeping Tel, the situation may evolve depending on the player’s satisfaction with his role at the club.
