Thomas Tuchel (51) has changed his mind about leaving. Matthias Tell (19) has signed a new long-term contract with Bayern Munich.
“Tell has extended his contract with the club until June 30, 2029,” Bayern Munich announced on the club’s website on Sunday. The France U-21 international’s original contract was until the summer of 2027,” the club announced.
Born in 2005, Tell is a promising and quick-footed forward. A regular for France’s age-group national team, he left Stade Rennes in the summer of 2022 to join Bayern Munich. The transfer was worth a whopping €28.5 million with options.
Teller immediately made his presence felt in the first team and exceeded expectations, scoring six goals in 28 appearances across all competitions last season. He showed flashes of brilliance despite coming on as a substitute for most of them.
This season, he has continued to get his chances. In 20 league games, Tell has four goals and three assists, and in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), he’s shown off his talents with two goals and one assist in eight appearances.
However, he didn’t get as much playing time as he had hoped. Tuchel hasn’t given him many chances and has only started him once in the league. There was even a growing chorus among the fans that Tuchel should start him instead of his more established options.
While he didn’t complain directly, he was unhappy with the limited opportunities he was given as a mere substitute. Transfer rumors have also surfaced, with Manchester United reportedly targeting Tell.
However, the tide turned when Tuchel’s farewell to Bayern Munich was confirmed. He agreed to leave the club at the end of the season. Naturally, Tuchel changed his mind.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said: “Bayern Munich’s new coach will be involved in deciding Teller’s future. Teller wants to stay and loves the team, but he needs more guaranteed playing time. If Tuchel had stayed on as coach, Teller’s transfer would have been possible.”
Bayern Munich Director Max Eberle, who succeeded in retaining Tell, said: “We are delighted that Tell has extended his contract, he is an 카지노사이트 important foundation for the future of this team. “Tell arrived in Munich as a young player and has already gained a lot of important experience at the highest level. He will leave a lot of marks here,” said Eberle, who is looking forward to the next generation.
Director Christoph Proint echoed the sentiment: “Every club wants a player like Tell, who is young, very talented, hungry and willing to learn. To play at this level at the age of 18 is special. Tell plays an important role here. Now we are taking the next step and we are looking forward to the next few years with him.”
“This contract extension means a lot to me,” said Tell, who has committed his future to Bayern Munich. I have already learned a lot at Bayern Munich, both on and off the pitch. Munich has become home for me and my family, and the fans are very important to me. I wouldn’t be me without them,” he said. “When I play here, I always want to win all the trophies. I want to score goals, provide assists, play to the best of my ability for Bayern Munich and give everything for this team and the fans.”
