FC Nantes’ prodigy Tylel Tati has attracted interest from the top clubs in European football, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Born in 2008 and already commanding senior minutes, the French-Congolese defender has drawn a crowd of elite scouts. The youngster has shown maturity and talent rarely seen at 17. From Ligue 1 to France U18, Tati’s emergence has put half of Europe on alert and sparked an early debate, is he the next cornerstone centre-back to graduate from France’s talent pipeline? Tati has made six league appearances for the French club this season. Comfortable on his weaker side, he can slide to left-back when the full-back tucks inside, and he has the composure to operate as a defensive midfielder, breaking up play and progressing possession through tight areas. Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Brighton, Brentford and Aston Villa have all dispatched scouts to monitor him. The interest isn’t limited to the Premier League. Barcelona view Tati as a long-horizon investment to modernise their defensive line, while RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, two of Germany’s best at fast-tracking high-ceiling prospects, are also tracking him closely. Nantes are taking a measured approach, prioritising development and minutes in multiple roles before entertaining serious offers. Given the breadth of interest across England, Spain and Germany, industry chatter suggests the timeline is unlikely to be immediate. Tati has the hallmarks of the next breakout defender from France’s football system. With elite clubs already queuing for a closer look, the race to secure his signature will depend on two factors, Nantes’ developmental roadmap and which suitor can present the clearest pathway to top-level minutes. If his current progress continues, expect Tati to headline the market in 2026, moving not just as a prospect but as a ready-made piece for a Champions League-level project.

FC Nantes’
prodigy Tylel Tati je privukao interes najboljih klubova u evropskom fudbalu, izvori bliski industriji menadžera su informisali CaughtOffside. Rođen 2008. godine i već komanduje seniorskim minutama, francusko-kongoanski defanzivac je privukao pažnju elitnih skauta. Tati je pokazao zrelost i talent koji se rijetko viđaju kod 17-godišnjaka. Od Ligue 1 do Francuske U18, Tati je privukao pažnju pola Evrope i pokrenuo ranu debatu – da li je on sledeći ključni štoper koji će izaći iz talentovane linije Francuske? Tati je odigrao šest utakmica u ligi za francuski klub ove sezone. Spreman na svojoj slabijoj strani, može igrati i na lijevom beku kada bek povuče unutra, i ima smirenost da djeluje kao defanzivni vezni, razbijajući igru i napredujući posjed kroz uske prostore. Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Brighton, Brentford i Aston Villa su poslali skautove da ga prate. Interes nije ograničen samo na Premier ligu. Barcelona vidi Tatija kao dugoročnu investiciju za modernizaciju svoje defanzivne linije, dok RB Leipzig i Bayer Leverkusen, dva najbolja njemačka kluba za ubrzanu afirmaciju mladih talenata, također ga pažljivo prate. Nantes pristupa mjerenim koracima, prioritet je razvoj i minutaža u više različitih uloga prije ozbiljnih ponuda. S obzirom na širok interes u Engleskoj, Španiji i Njemačkoj, glasine u industriji sugeriraju da vjerovatno neće biti trenutan odgovor. Tati ima sve odlike naredne breakout zvijezde iz francuskog fudbalskog sistema. Sa elitnim klubovima već u redu da ga bolje pogledaju, trka za osiguranje njegovog potpisa će zavisiti od dva faktora, Nantesove razvojne strategije i koji pretendenti mogu ponuditi najjasniji put do najviših minuta. Ako se njegov sadašnji napredak nastavi, očekujte da Tati zauzme centralno mjesto na tržištu 2026. godine, a ne samo kao potencijal nego i kao spremni igrač za projekat na nivou Lige prvaka. Man United priprema ponudu od 90 miliona eura kako bi nadmašio Arsenal i Chelsea u borbi za napadačkog senzaciju.
