Thomas Tuchel eyes £44m double Chelsea raid as Bayern Munich summer transfer priority revealed

Bayern Munich look set to solve two of Todd Boehly's biggest headaches this summer, with Thomas Tuchel rumoured to be replacing Julian Nagelsmann. The former Chelsea boss looks set to be appointed as the Bavarians' new head coach, in what will be his first job back in management since he was sacked at Stamford Bridge earlier last year.

According to various reports from across Europe, Tuchel will sign a two-and-a-half year contract with Bayern. And the Bundesliga champions appear to have wasted no time in showing the 49-year-old that they will back him in the transfer market.

Calciomercato state that Bayern are ready to launch moves to sign Edouard Mendy and Mateo Kovacic, who are valued at a combined £43.9million. The Blues goalkeeper faces an increasingly uncertain future under Graham Potter as it is, with contract renewal talks stalling and Kepa Arrizabalaga preferred between the sticks.
