Premier League: Declan Rice, Guardiola’s most expensive setback
Bayern Munich is in the midst of change with the arrival of a new coach in the person of Thomas Tuchel. Since no one expected the departure of Julian Nagelsmann, the latter was eventually dismissed and the new one who replaces him has decided to put a little of his touch on the squad of the German club that will face Manchester City in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Thomas Tuchel has already taken the reins of Bayern Munich after the resounding dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann. And as expected, the former Chelsea coach has already analyzed his squad and set some targets for the next transfer window to strengthen. And according to Calcio Mercato, he has asked Bayern to recruit three players this summer.
The first two recruits requested by the German coach are two old acquaintances. Since the German would like to bring back Mateo Kovacic and Edouard Mendy, whom he worked with during his previous stint at Chelsea. The first would bring depth to the midfield of Bayern. The Croatian was regularly lined up at Stamford Bridge and would be a good complement to Gorezka, Kimmich, Musiala and others.
The Senegalese goalkeeper, on the other hand, would increase the competition in goal, where it is still unclear when and how Manuel Neuer will be able to return from his injury. At the moment, Sommer is not performing as well as expected, which is why Tuchel would prefer to have another goalkeeper like Mendy, who worked under him at Chelsea and is struggling under Potter alongside him.
Finally, the German’s last request would be for Federico Chiesa. The Italian striker is very popular at Juventus, but the problems related to the capital gains deal and the possibility of not playing in Europe next season could open the door to his departure. Thus, Tuchel is already positioning himself to complete his arrival at Bayern Munich if the opportunity arose. Note that on this file, he will have fierce competition, since Real Madrid is also a candidate for his signature.
