Roma have made inquiries about signing Mathys Tel on loan from Tottenham as manager Gian Piero Gasperini continues his search for attacking reinforcements during the January transfer window, though Spurs are currently unwilling to release the French striker.
Roma Make Loan Inquiry for Tottenham Forward Mathys Tel as January Options Explored
The Serie A club are working on several fronts to strengthen their attack, with the management still awaiting a definitive response from Giacomo Raspadori while negotiations continue with Aston Villa for Donyell Malen. However, Roma have not abandoned their pursuit of alternative targets, with Tel emerging as a possibility for the remainder of the season.
The 19-year-old striker, who moved to Tottenham from Bayern Munich, is reportedly seeking greater consistency in his playing time. Tel’s primary objective is to secure more regular minutes on the pitch in order to earn a call-up to the French national team for this summer’s World Cup, making a loan move an attractive option for his development.
According to RMC Sport, Roma are considering a temporary deal for Tel, with the young Frenchman reportedly open to the loan solution. The 2005-born player is regarded as one of the most exciting talents on the European scene, making him an appealing target for clubs seeking attacking depth during the winter transfer window.
However, Tottenham currently appear unwilling to part with Tel, despite the player’s desire for increased playing opportunities. Roma face significant competition for the striker’s signature, with Villarreal monitoring the situation closely alongside several Ligue 1 clubs who are prepared to make offers should the London club reconsider their position on allowing Tel to leave temporarily.
