Roma Open Talks With Tottenham Over January Loan for Mathys Tel

The 20-year-old seeks regular minutes after a reduced role under Thomas Frank, including exclusion from this season's Champions League squad.

Overview

  • AS Roma have contacted Tottenham to explore a January move, with a six-month loan discussed and no agreement in place, according to multiple reports.
  • Tottenham are reported to be open to a temporary deal but are not considering a permanent sale after signing Tel on a long-term basis in the summer.
  • Tel has played only 359 minutes across eight appearances this season and was omitted from the Champions League list following Randal Kolo Muani’s arrival.
  • Gian Piero Gasperini views Tel as a pace-driven option on the left as Roma seek to address underwhelming returns from Evan Ferguson and Artem Dovbyk.
  • The France U-21 forward joined Spurs permanently in 2025 for a reported €35m after a successful loan from Bayern, and Roma are prepared to propose a short-term arrangement.
