Mathys Tel rejects Tottenham as Daniel Levy steps into high-stakes talks.

Mathys Tel snubs Tottenham as Daniel Levy enters negotiations

According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel has turned down a transfer to Tottenham.

Le Parisien reported on January 30 that Spurs and Bayern had reached a verbal agreement for a £50 million deal for the 19-year-old, with Harry Kane likely to be part of the discussions.

According to Fabrizio Romano on his personal X account (31 January), Mathys Tel has turned down the opportunity to join Tottenham, despite Daniel Levy traveling to Munich to negotiate with the player and his agent.

Barring any unexpected twists, Tel will not be heading to Spurs, with other Premier League clubs now eyeing a potential deal.

This marks a significant setback for Ange Postecoglou.

Although Spurs reached an agreement with Bayern for the transfer, Tel remained unconvinced about joining the club. This underscores Tottenham’s current struggles and the pressing need for improvement.

This rejection is also a major setback for Daniel Levy. The Spurs chairman is already under significant pressure, with fans becoming increasingly frustrated by the club’s lackluster transfer dealings.

Landing a big-money deal for one of Europe’s most promising young talents would have eased the pressure on Levy and silenced some of the growing criticism from fans.

However, after personally speaking with the player, the deal collapsed—casting a poor light on the 62-year-old chairman.

Spurs must now move swiftly to secure new signings before the February 3 deadline. Failure to do so could see fan frustration in North London reach new heights.
