The transfer fee is 29.8 million pounds (about 52 billion won), and the contract period is six years until 2031. Tel, a member of France's U-21 national team, joined Tottenham on loan in January under coach Enzi Postecoglou, and it was a contract with full recruitment in mind from then on. Even after Postecoglou was replaced, the new manager Thomas Frank approved the transfer and the recruitment was finalized.
Tottenham paid 7.3 million pounds (about 12.7 billion won) in rent for bringing Tel in January. Tel revealed his potential by scoring three goals in 20 appearances during the second half of the 2023-2024 season.
Tel moved to Bayern Munich from Stadren in 2022, making a total of 69 appearances in his first two seasons. However, since the appointment of Bang Sang-Kompany, his position has declined, and he played only eight league games in the first half of last season. In the end, he chose to move to Tottenham on loan. It also drew attention that he refused the transfer offer in the first place but made a sharp turn at the end of the transfer market.
Tel was benched against Manchester United in the Europa League final without a substitute appearance. The team won 1-0 to qualify for the European Champions League. In the Premier League, he remained in 17th place, the worst in the club's history, but succeeded in turning the mood around by winning the Europa League. Tel is currently competing at the under-21 European Championships in Slovakia. He is leading the national team offense with teammate Wilson O'Dober. In the opening match against Georgia, he scored his first goal of the tournament with a penalty kick.
Bayern Munich general manager Max Eberet said "Martis Tell joined Bayern at a very young age and laid the groundwork for his growth on the world-class stage. He was a popular player in the team and always did his bestThe move to Tottenham was the right decision for his development" he evaluated.
Meanwhile, Tel has also received attention from Manchester United, Chelsea and Aston Villa during the transfer market this winter, and his former team Staderen will benefit from the Selon clause of 10-15% for this transfer.
