Chelsea star Mason Mount saw another club emerge on his potential list of summer transfer suitors after Thomas Tuchel became the new manager at Bayern Munich. The former Blues head coach has been out of work since he was let go from his role in west London last September, but after a six-month break he will now take charge of another of his former clubs' biggest rivals.
Prior to his reign in France at Paris Saint-Germain, Tuchel managed in his home country of Germany for a decade taking charge of FC Augsburg II, Mainz and finally Borussia Dortmund. Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021 after being appointed mid-season and he will be hoping for a repeat of that success at Bayern.
The 49-year-old has already confirmed his desire to poach one key asset to Chelsea in the form of assistant coach Anthony Barry. The Blues were said to be disappointed by Tuchel's public approach, but it looks likely Barry will be reunited with Tuchel after the latest development revealed he has agreed to stay away from Chelsea's training ground while negotiations take place.
