Chelsea target unwilling to seal permanent exit from current club in January, player could leave on loan: Reports

Bayern Munich attacker Mathys Tel is unlikely to leave the Bundesliga giants for Chelsea on a permanent move in the winter transfer window. However, the French forward can join the Stamford Bridge outfit on a loan deal, as per RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins (via CFCpys).

Mathys Tel joined Bayern Munich from French side Stade Rennais in July 2022. Since then, he has made 81 appearances for the Bavarians across all competitions, bagging 16 goals and six assists. The Frenchman has played 12 matches the season for Vincent Kompany's side, accumulating only 351 minutes on the ground.

Tel has started only two matches in the Bundesliga for Bayern this season. Due to a lack of minutes, reports suggested that Tel is expected to leave the Bundesliga giants in the winter transfer window. However, as per the aforementioned report, he's unwilling to leave Bayern on a permanent deal to join Enzo Maresca's side.

Mathys Tel can still join the north London club on a loan deal until the end of the season. Chelsea see Tel as a replacement for Christopher Nkunku, who joined the Blues from RB Leipzig in July 2023.

The former Stade Rennais star has also played eight matches for the France under-21 team. His contract with the Bavarians will expire in the summer of 2029 as he signed a new deal with Bayern in March 2024.
