Chelsea are preparing for a huge squad turnover this summer as a number of stars could be set to leave the club in the upcoming transfer window. A whole host of players have been linked with a switch away, with a few nearing the final 12 months of their contracts.
With such a number of exits expected, there have been plenty of reports surrounding Thomas Tuchel making a potential raid for some of his former players now he is at Bayern Munich. Mason Mount has been the prominent name linked, with the England international's future currently uncertain.
"I still have a good bond with the players," Tuchel said when asked about his link to the Blues. "We still text, there are many messages. I have found many friends at the Chelsea training centre. This will not end because of a new job. It will be difficult to keep in touch and see each other but the friendships will stay."
