The youngster will now compete for playing time at Bayern Munich.
After weeks of speculation and at least a couple of rounds of negotiations, Bayern Munich has reached an agreement with Stade Rennais for young striker Mathys Tel.
Tel’s arrival in Bavaria has been anticipated for weeks now after the club went hard after him when Robert Lewandowski formally decided to move to FC Barcelona. Now, though, the waiting is over and the 17-year-old is expected to come right in to the squad and compete for playing time:
