Thomas Tuchel has second Chelsea transfer raid shut down - "I'm not thinking about that"

Kai Havertz has confirmed his wish to remain with Chelsea, ending Thomas Tuchel 's chances of reuniting with him at Bayern Munich.

Tuchel, who was appointed by Bayern less a fortnight ago, has wasted no time in turning back to his old employers, as the German boss wants to bring highly-rated Chelsea coach Anthony Barry with him to Munich. The Blues, who are enduring a tumultuous period after the sacking of manager Graham Potter, have told Barry to stay away from their Cobham training ground as they thrash out an agreement with the Bundesliga giants.

Havertz, 23, was also tipped to go in the same direction after recently admitting that he'd find a move to Bavaria "hard to turn say no" to, But now the versatile forward, who Chelsea signed for £71million in the summer of 2020 but has since struggled to live up to expectations, has cleared up suggestions that he's hoping to link up with Tuchel at Bayern.
