Tottenham reach Mathys Tel agreement for lower than £45m clause

Tottenham are set to complete a permanent deal to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, according to reports in Germany.
In the closing stages of the January transfer window, Spurs paid a €10 million (£8m) loan fee to sign Tel on a temporary deal from Bayern until the end of the season.
During his time under Ange Postecoglou, the 20-year-old scored three goals in 20 appearances across all competitions and helped the club win the Europa League.
Tottenham had the option to permanently sign Tel for £45.7m (€55m) this summer but according to Bild, the Premier League side have now negotiated a lower fee with Bayern.
The report claims that Spurs will now pay €35m (£29.7m) to sign Tel permanently from Bayern.

Speaking in April, Postecoglou was adamant that Tel can make a long-term impact for Spurs in the Premier League.
‘I think he’s very, very exciting,’ Postecoglou said.
‘When you meet him, you realise that he has that certain something. He has enormous confidence in what he wants to do.
‘Although he is still young, he can physically handle the Premier League.
‘He’s a goal scorer, he can hold his own, he’s got the necessary speed. He will play an important role in our end-of-season push and beyond.’

‘Bring him back’ – Antony needs another chance at Man Utd under Ruben Amorim, says club legend
EDWIN VAN DER SAR wants Man Utd flop Antony to be given another chance at Manchester United next season under Ruben Amorim.
The £86million signing from Ajax started brightly at Old Trafford before his form dropped off a cliff and he became a scapegoat for manager Erik Ten Hag’s underwhelming stint in charge.


In his second season, he lost his place in the Man Utd side before being shipped out on loan to Real Betis where he starred in LaLiga and in a run to the Conference League final before being beaten by Chelsea.
Betis bosses wanted to make the move permanent after he scored eight goals and got five assists under Manuel Pellegrini.
That included playing a starring role against Real Madrid, with club legend Joaquin even joking that he would provide the car for Antony’s kidnapping if need be to allow him to stay in Seville for another year.
Antony also made it clear he would love to stay at Betis, insisting, “I love the club, the city, everything. The sunshine, the people, the food: it reminds me of Brazil.
“And most importantly, I’ve found myself. I wasn’t playing much [at United]. I needed to be happy in myself.”
Unfortunately for all involved, that move wasn’t able to be made permanent given the transfer fee that Man Utd would demand for their expensive asset, which led to Antony saying a tearful goodbye to the Beticos.
“From heaven to hell. The ball stopped going in, the joy faded, my world darkened, and I began to doubt myself, my talent, and my passion for the game.
“That’s when football gave me one last gift: Real Betis. From the first step into this club, I felt something different.”
Now the Brazilian’s next step remains unclear, with rumours circling that Antony could be rescued from his Man Utd nightmare by ex-boss Erik Ten Hag at Bayer Leverkusen.
But former United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar thinks that the winger has done enough to earn a second chance at the Red Devils.
“Luckily, I’m not in a position anymore to dictate at a club which kind of players have to come, but they’re on the right track by signing a more experienced striker, maybe with another one on the way.
“The two players they signed in the winter break were good, so they should be fine if they give faith to the manager.
“Maybe [Alejandro] Garnacho’s going to go, I would say bring Antony back, but I’m not sure if that’s realistic.”

TESCO shoppers are rushing to buy a pricey stroller scanning for £199 off.
Eagle-eyed customers could not believe their luck after spotting a Joie Brisk LX Lightweight Umbrella Stroller scanning for just £51.

The deal was shared in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, with lots of shoppers praising the deal.
One savvy customer said: “This is good.”
While another shopper said: “Crazy, I spent 170 on mine when it first came out.”
And a third customer added the stroller might be “worth it” for when they go on holiday.
The pram comes with a water repellent canopy and a lie flat lounger so your little one can nap on the go.
It can hold up to 22kg and is suitable from birth to children aged four years old.
The product has received rave reviews from other parents who said they “loved” the pram.
If you are keen to shop the product you will have to visit a Tesco store as the offer does not appear to be available online.
It may be worth ringing your local branch ahead of time to check stock levels to avoid a wasted trip.

The pram is also available at Argos for £100 and Pram World has reduced the price of the product from £170 to £99.95.
And that is not the only bargain that has been spotted at Tesco in recent weeks.
Shoppers were stunned to see a £12 dupe for pricey Samsonite carry on suitcases.
In comparison, a similar suitcase from Samsonite will set you back a whopping £295.
HOW TO BAG A BARGAIN
When hunting for a deal, it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being overcharged.
There are plenty of comparison websites that will check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
How to save money at Tesco
EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco.
The Sun’s Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK’s biggest supermarket.
Clubcard points
Tesco first launched it’s loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value.
Extend Clubcard points
You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site.
Clubcard prices
If you don’t have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don’t forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll.
Yellow stickers
Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm.
Save money if you shop online
If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees.
If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.
‘I just wanted to cry’ – Alvaro Morata reveals ‘self-destructive’ spell and considered faking injury to skip tournament
ALVARO MORATA contemplated faking an injury to avoid playing at Euro 2024.
The Spain striker – who captained his country to glory by beating England – bravely opened up on feeling “depressed” and “mentally broken” during his career.


The revelations are made in a new tell-all documentary called Morata: They Don’t Know Who I Am, which details the psychological difficulties he has faced.
He named Atletico Madrid’s defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League quarter-final in April 2024 as a particular low point.
Morata, 32, said: “You start to feel many things in your body and you don’t know why or how.
“Your legs hurt. Your chest closes up. You can’t breathe. I was afraid of going to sleep and not waking up. I was afraid of everything.”
After fumbling a one-on-one with Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel early in the second leg in Germany, Morata claims he was unable to focus on the game because he kept mentally reliving the opportunity.
He said: “I was not able to follow the ball.
“We were not losing the game, but in your head, you had blown the chance to reach a Champions League final with Atletico.
“When the game was over, I stayed a long time alone in the dressing room. I just wanted to cry. From there, it all began.“
In the documentary, Morata claims that he “had a very bad time” during his challenging time as a Chelsea player from 2017 to 2019.
And he claims the problems escalated after the former Real Madrid academy graduate joined city rivals Atletico.
Morata said: “I had many horrible, self-destructive thoughts.
“It passed through my head to fake an injury, so I would not have to go [to the Euros].”
Morata informed Spain’s doctor, Oscar Celada, on the phone that he was unable to attend the tournament.
Celada arranged for Morata to talk to former international team-mate Andres Iniesta, who battled depression during his playing career when his close friend and team-mate Dani Jarque passed away in 2009.
Morata was assisted by Iniesta in seeing that he could overcome his issues by contributing well to Spain at the Euros in Germany.
In the documentary, Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente also claims that he gave Morata something to strive for by telling him that “the team needed him.”
The programme shows some of Morata’s sessions with his psychiatrist, Pilar de Castro-Manglano, in between Euros matches.
De Castro-Manglano said: “Alvaro is currently undergoing repair.


“It’s like a ligament had broken, and you have to learn to walk again, to deal with the difficulties of life in a healthy way. Learning to manage life is difficult, even more in elite people who live in the public eye.”
Throughout his lengthy international career, the enigmatic striker, currently applying his trade at Galatasaray, has frequently been lambasted for his performances by media and fans.
Morata said: “Is it worth playing for Spain if everywhere I go with my family, there are unpleasant incidents, with people insulting you and mocking you?
“If you go to stadiums, wearing the Spain jersey, and fans whistle you and abuse you. It’s not worth it.
“There are many Spain fans who support me, but also many others who don’t want me here. But if I retire from international football, they will win.”
Since making his international debut in 2014, Morata has scored 37 goals in 86 games for Spain.
Most recently, he missed the decisive penalty kick as Spain lost to Portugal in a shootout in the Nations League final.
He made a suggestion about leaving the international game after the final whistle.
He said: “I feel sorry for my teammates, but that’s part of life.
“I thank the coach for his words. The penalty? I took it badly, I could have done better, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
Speaking on his possible retirement, Morata added: “I’m only thinking about what happened today, but it’s possible I won’t be back in September.”
You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.

Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
