On Thursday, FC Bayern announced the early extension of Mathys Tel’s contract. The youngster is to become part of the new axis of the record champions, which sports director Max Eberl is planning in Munich. Jamal Musiala, Josip Stanisic and Aleksandar Pavlovic should also be an important part of the mind games.
After a disappointing 2023/24 season, FC Bayern is likely to face a major upheaval in the summer. This will take place under the leadership of new sports director Max Eberl, who will prepare the German record champions’ squad for the future.
According to “tz”, Mathys Tel, Jamal Musiala, Josip Stanisic and Aleksandar Pavlovic are an elementary part of the planning. This “axis of the future” should be tied to the club in the long term. With Tel’s contract extension announced on Thursday until 2029, the German record champions wanted to send a signal to the other talents, it is said.
FC Bayern: Mathys Tel wants to “start a new era”
“It’s easy to sign a new contract when the sun is shining in the sky. But when it’s cloudy like it is now, you have to show commitment,” Tel consultant Gadiri Camara told the “tz” and added: “It’s one “Good opportunity to start a new era and become a club legend. That’s what Mathys wants. And that’s why he signed this contract until 2029.”
This new era should also shape Musiala. The sporting management therefore wants to extend the DFB star’s contract, which runs until 2026, “as quickly as possible”. According to the Munich daily newspaper, concrete discussions about expanding cooperation have not yet begun.
The “hierarchy of the future” will then be supplemented with shooting star Pavlovic (contract until 2027) and Bayer loanee Stansic (contract until 2026). Most recently, supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge criticized a lack of “top hierarchy” at FC Bayern, which was shattered by the departures of leading players such as David Alaba, Thiago and Robert Lewandowski.
