The ‘only possibility’ for Mathys Tel to ‘come back to Germany’ revealed by his agent Gadiri Camara

London — As Tottenham Hotspur brace for a pivotal summer transfer window, the future of 20-year-old forward Mathys Tel has leapt onto the agenda. Amid mounting speculation that the Frenchman could be lured back to the Bundesliga, his representative Gadiri Camara has moved to clarify the pathway for any potential return to Germany.

Borussia Dortmund have been floated as a possible destination for Tel, but Camara insists the whispers are premature. “I don’t know if Dortmund really want Mathys, but honestly a return to Bayern is the only possibility for Mathys to come back to Germany,” Camara told Fussball Transfers. “He can’t play for another club in the Bundesliga. He loves Bayern.”

Tel swapped the Allianz Arena for north London last summer, signing a long-term deal with Spurs after a brief loan spell convinced the club he was worth the long-term investment. The forward spent two-and-a-half seasons with Bayern Munich, making the Bavarian giants a sentimental as well as strategic preference should he ever head back to German football.

So far, Tel’s maiden full campaign in the Premier League has been a mixed bag. Three goals and one assist in 31 appearances across all competitions illustrate a player still searching for consistency, yet interim boss Igor Tudor has handed him an extended run in the side. That stretch has coincided with some of Tottenham’s better individual performances, even as the collective results have nosedived.

The youngster’s momentum was stalled by an injury sustained in the 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, ruling him out of France Under-21 duty. Spurs now enter a rare three-week hiatus, giving Tel time to recover ahead of a relegation scrap in which the club will lean heavily on his pace and directness.

While Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven dominate exit headlines, Tel’s situation adds another layer of uncertainty. Should Tottenham fail to preserve their top-flight status, keeping the French prodigy — or any of their prized assets — could prove difficult. For now, Camara’s message is unambiguous: if Tel does return to Germany, there is only one destination that makes sense.
