Bayern Munich forward, Mathys Tel, has revealed why he turned down an offer to join Real Madrid.
Tel joined Bayern Munich from French club Rennes in the summer of 2022, although the 18-year-old could have joined Real Madrid.
“Real Madrid or Bayern? It is true that many clubs wanted me in 2022. It is very true, but I was only focused on Bayern,” Tel told Carre (via Diario AS).
“I didn’t have another choice because I appreciated their project and the people behind the project.”
Real Madrid will feel that not signing Tel was a missed opportunity.
However, in recent days, the La Liga giants have been linked with another movie for Tel in 2024.
