Mathys Tel Transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Roma

According to a report from Calciomercato, AS Roma are considering signing Tottenham Hotspur forward Mathys Tel as part of their January plans to strengthen their attacking options. No formal contact has yet been made between Roma and Tottenham, but the Italian club’s recruitment team is monitoring Tel’s situation. Roma considers Tel a dynamic and versatile attacker capable of playing across the front line.

Roma have begun exploring other options, with Mathys Tel being one of the primary ones. The Tottenham forward has had limited game time this season and is a peripheral player at Spurs. This lack of playing time could make him receptive to a loan transfer, which is what Roma is pursuing. An agreement for Tel is a lower-risk, lower-cost option compared to a transfer for Zirkzee, providing the club with flexibility.

According to Il Messaggero, Roma consider Tottenham Hotspur winger Mathys Tel an alternative to Zirkzee whose popularity is increasing.

AS Roma are preparing to approach Tottenham Hotspur striker Mathys Tel in January. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma have identified Mathys Tel as a priority target. Early discussions are taking place regarding a potential loan deal until the end of the campaign. Tottenham are not considering a permanent sale but are open to approving a temporary departure. Whether Tottenham will agree to Tel's departure depends on incoming reinforcements and squad depth going into January. Roma are optimistic, and it is expected that talks will intensify in the coming weeks.

AS Roma is looking to strengthen its attack in the winter and has identified Mathys Tel, a 20-year-old French centre-forward from Tottenham Hotspur, as a potential alternative to its main target, Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United. According to 'Gazzetta dello Sport', Tel is being considered by Roma as a backup option. The club's interest in alternatives is reportedly due to competition for Zirkzee from clubs such as FC Everton, West Ham United, PSV Eindhoven, and Juventus Turin. Said El Mala from 1. FC Köln and Franculino from FC Midtjylland are also said to be under consideration by the Italian club. Tel joined Tottenham in July 2025 and has a contract that runs until 2031. His current market value is €35.00m, according to Transfermarkt. This season, he has scored 2 goals in 8 Premier League appearances and has 11 goals in 19 caps for the France U21 team.
