Chelsea star opens door to reunion with Thomas Tuchel at Bayern

Kai Havertz says it would be tough to reject a move to Bayern Munich and has opened the door to a potential reunion with Thomas Tuchel. The 23-year-old was a key player under Tuchel during his time at Chelsea, having been utilised as a false number nine to great effect – particularly in the 2021 Champions League final, where he scored the goal in a 1-0 win over Manchester City. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite leading Chelsea’s scoring charts in the Premier League this campaign with seven goals, the west Londoners are said to be open to selling Havertz as they look to bring in a new, more orthodox striker to lead the line. Bayern have been linked with a move for the German star – who previously played for Bayer Leverkusen – while the likes o...

Premier League, Bundesliga, Seria A, Sports

Chelsea head coach Graham Potter is the fourth-best paid manager in the world, ahead of even Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti.

Julian Nagelsmann involved in bust-up with Sadio Mane before Bayern sack

Bundesliga, Sports, Trending

Julian Nagelsmann had a furious bust-up with Sadio Mane shortly before he was sacked by Bayern Munich, according to reports. The 35-year-old was shockingly dismissed from the Allianz Arena last week, with former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel replacing him. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Even though Bayern were in contention to win a treble, Nagelsmann was sacked because the club weren’t dominating the Bundesliga as usual, with CEO Oliver Kahn saying: ‘We have come to the conclusion that the quality in our squad has come to the fore less and less often. ‘After the World Cup we have played less successfully and less attractively. The big fluctuations in performance have cast doubt on our goals for this season, but also our goals for the future.’ Mo...

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich's squad is split over the club's decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann as head coach, according to reports. The 35-year-old was dismissed on Friday, despite Bayern being only one point off the top of the Bundesliga table and winning all eight of their Champions League games this season.

Why Bayern Munich ruthlessly sacked Julain Nagelsmann to hire Thomas Tuchel

Bundesliga, Sports

Julian Nagelsmann has now paid the price for Bayern Munich's poor display in the Bundesliga, with the manager set to be replaced by Thomas Tuchel. Nagelsmann took over as Bayern head coach less than two years ago, guiding them to the Bundesliga title last campaign. But he will now leave his job over the international break, with the club sitting second in the league, behind Borussia Dortmund. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A defeat to Bayer Leverkusen proved to be Nagelsmann's last match in charge, though the 35-year-old did not feel his job was at risk. In fact, he went to Austria for some skiing before planning for Bayern's run-in to the end of the campaign. Those plans will not be needed now, with Bayern bosses taking the decision to fire the coa...

Chelsea duo alter Gvardiol stance with other positions prioritised

Premier League, Bundesliga, Transfer Info

Chelsea look unlikely to make a move for RB Leipzig’s in-demand defender Josko Gvardiol and have other transfer priorities in the summer, according to reports. They tried to prise the Croatia international away from the Bundesliga club last summer, though he decided to sign a contract extension and has expressed his intention to remain in Germany for at least one more campaign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That new contract included a release clause of £97m – though it does not become active until the summer of 2024 – and that will likely be a guideline price for any interested teams this summer. Manchester City, Real Madrid, Tottenham and others are all keen to sign the 21-year-old, who is regarded as the best young defender in world football. ...

Transfer Info, Bundesliga, Premier League

RB Leipzig player Christopher Nkunku will become a Chelsea player on July 1st after signing his contract with the London side. The Blues agreed a £53m deal for the Frenchman in December but there were fears that a failure to finish in the top-four would see the player change his mind on a move to Stamford Bridge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite spending around £600m since Todd Boehly took charge only nine months ago, Chelsea are outsiders for Champions League qualification. Nkunku has emerged as one of the most promising playmakers during his time with Leipzig, who he joined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. But, despite the interest from PSG, Manchester United and Liverpool, Chelsea have eventually won the race to sign Nkunku. The Fran...

Thomas Muller mocks Lionel Messi over PSG humiliation with Ronaldo dig

Bundesliga, Ligue 1

Thomas Muller claims Cristiano Ronaldo has posed more threat to Bayern Munich than Lionel Messi after Paris Saint-Germain were knocked out from the Champions League. Bayern had a 1-0 lead over PSG from the first leg and added a 2-0 victory in the return leg at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday to secure their place in the quarter finasl. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, Messi struggled to make an impact in both legs and has lost six of his nine matches played against the German side during his career. After Bayern’s win, Muller said Ronaldo has caused his team more problems in the Champions League over the last decade but acknowledged that Messi would find it tough playing for PSG due to their lack of balance.
