Chelsea could be set to face a battle to keep Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge with both Manchester United and Real Madrid reportedly eyeing moves for the German. The former Paris Saint-Germain boss’ future in west London has been called into question over recent weeks amid huge uncertainty over Chelsea’s ownership.
It has previously been reported that the Red Devils could consider the German as they attempt to find a successor for compatriot Ralf Rangnick - although Mauricio Pochettino appears to be the front-runner for the Old Trafford job. Now, it is being claimed that Tuchel is being eyed by Real Madrid should the Spanish giants elect to move on ex- Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.
According to Sport, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has shortlisted the Champions League winner should he elect to move Ancelotti on at the end of the season. Despite seemingly having the Spanish giants on track to win La Liga come the end of the season, he has come under pressure with the 4-0 humbling at the hands of great rivals Barcelona at the weekend.
