Part 2/4:
Complications in the Transfer
Tottenham is not alone in their pursuit; they face stiff competition from Al Ahli, a Saudi Arabian club managed by German coach Matthias Jaissle, alongside interest from English Premier League clubs Chelsea and Aston Villa. This competitive environment raises the stakes for Spurs, who are hopeful that the prospect of increased playing time could sway Tell to choose their offer over the others.
Historical Context
If the transfer goes through, Mattis Tell would become Bayern’s most expensive sale in history. Furthermore, there’s a notable stipulation involving Stade Rennais, Tell's former club, which includes a sell-on clause of approximately 10 to 15%. This could add another layer to the negotiations as clubs involved consider financial implications.
