Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel looks set to target former club Chelsea this summer as he aims to shape his new club in his image. Tuchel replaced Julian Nagelsmann at the German giants last Friday, and has wasted little time in informing his employers of what he needs to succeed in the role.
Having already had a request to bring highly-rated Chelsea coach Anthony Barry with him to the Allianz Arena granted, the German now wants to return to Stamford Bridge to add to his playing staff with another former favourite. Bayern are said to be considering a move for midfielder Mason Mount, whose contract stalemate rumbles on, as the Times reports.
Former Blues boss Tuchel is a keen admirer of Mount, having worked together for a largely-successful 18-month stint which included the 2021 Champions League-winning campaign. The 24-year-old faces an uncertain future in west London, as talks to extend his current deal beyond the summer of 2024 have stalled.
