Chelsea ‘hold talks with Bayern star’ as Harry Kane plan takes shape | Football | Sport
Chelsea have reportedly held talks with Bayern Munich star Mathys Tel over a move to Stamford Bridge – and Harry Kane’s future could play a role in any proposed deal.
The Blues are open to signing a striker either in the January transfer window or in the summer to bolster their strikeforce, with questions emerging over Christopher Nkunku’s happiness.
And it appears Tel has been earmarked as a possible target to add to Enzo Maresca‘s squad after an approach was made by the west London club.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed that Chelsea have met with Bayern officials in ‘recent days’ to be informed about his availability.
The 19-year-old joined the Bundesliga giants in a £25million deal in 2022 at the age of 17 – making him one of the world’s most expensive under-18 players.
But Tel’s pathway to the first team has been blocked by Kane, who left Tottenham to sign for the Bavarian club in an £88m deal in 2023.
Kane’s form for his club has seen the England international, 32, keep Tel on the bench. And the youngster has held talks with head coach Vincent Kompany to clarify his position, with Chelsea ‘asking for information’ during their informal talks.
