Bayern Munich does not let go of Mathys Tel.
Eager to enlist the great 17-year-old hope of Stade Rennais, as written in our columns on July 3, the German club continues its forcing in the hope of concluding the deal but comes up against resistance from Breton leaders who are determined to not let go of their nugget so easily.
However, after two refused offers, Bayern have returned to the offensive in recent hours.
Indeed, emissaries from Bayern Munich, including sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, were present in Rennes on Tuesday morning.
Arrived the evening before, they met Florian Maurice, technical director of Stade Rennais, as well as Olivier Cloarec, executive president, with the aim of bringing to a conclusion the discussions started several weeks ago.
With the departure of Robert Lewandowski from FC Barcelona, Bayern has decided to move up a gear on the file of young striker Mathys Tel and seems to want to put substantial resources into completing the transfer.
A third offer was made during the meeting.
The compensation did not filter, but Bayern raised its last proposal which was around 22.5 million euros including bonus.
The Munich arguments have been heard by Rennes, which reserves its response for the moment.
Until now, the door has always been closed for the striker to leave, but this meeting in Brittany marks a turning point in the negotiations.
This is the first physical meeting between the two parties.
