Galatasaray are preparing an official approach for Tottenham Hotspur forward Mathys Tel as the champions of Türkiye step up efforts to strengthen their attack before the close of the transfer window, according to Turkish-Football.com.

The club are assessing the full financial package to sign the 21-year-old French attacker and are expected to formalise their interest in the coming days.

Manager Okan Buruk is understood to value Tel’s versatility, with the France youth international comfortable as a centre-forward and across the flanks. That profile suits Buruk’s fluid plans for their Trendyol Süper Lig defence and European campaign.

Officials are reviewing the deal structure, weighing salary demands and potential transfer terms before making an official proposal to Tottenham.

The former Bayern Munich forward is highly regarded across Europe, with interest also reported from several Bundesliga clubs.

While Tottenham invested significantly to secure Tel on a permanent basis, Galatasaray are considering whether an initial loan with a buy option or another structured offer could open negotiations before the summer deadline.
