After another disappointing 17th-place finish, Spurs have been among the most active Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window, with six signings so far.
Tel, who joined from Bayern Munich with high expectations, has struggled to secure regular first-team football. In a bid to optimise their financial flexibility and continue their squad overhaul, Tottenham are now exploring immediate market solutions for the 21-year-old attacker.
While a direct, permanent sale for €30 million remains their preferred outcome, Spurs are also open to a structured loan deal, provided it includes a mandatory purchase option that guarantees the full fee by the end of the loan.
This arrangement lowers the barrier for potential European suitors, allowing clubs to defer the main capital outlay while securing a ‘fantastic’ talent.
This development has put Turkish giants Galatasaray on high alert. The reigning Turkish champions are leading the chase for the Frenchman and are preparing a formal approach.
A key factor behind Galatasaray’s strong interest is Tel’s compatibility with the Super Lig’s squad registration rules; his youth and international status mean he satisfies the league’s U23 foreign player quota, allowing the club to add elite dynamism to their attack without affecting senior roster limits.
Tel’s representatives are currently awaiting a formal offer from Galatasaray. The versatile attacker is keen to join a project that offers regular football and immediate continental exposure.
