Thomas Tuchel has just told Bayern Munich to go and sign £150k-a-week player from Chelsea - journalist
Journalist Kerry Hau has claimed that Thomas Tuchel is now very keen to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for Bayern Munich.
He took to Twitter to state that the German has singled out the 28-year-old as the perfect reinforcement for his side ahead of next season.
It did look as if Kepa was at least going to start the season as the number one, in similar fashion to how he ended the prior campaign.
He held off Edouard Mendy for a place in the first team for the majority of last season, and came back in from the cold when many thought it wasn’t possible.
However, not every supporter is comfortable going into next season with him between the sticks.
There have been reported efforts to sell him in the past. Although, his £150,000-a-week contract has stood in the way of any clubs who may be interested in signing him.
Tuchel wants Kepa
That is it seems until now, with Hau claiming late last night that former Chelsea manager Tuchel would now be interested in a reunion with a player he hardly started.
He said: “New goalkeeper candidate: FC Bayern is dealing with Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea!
“Thomas Tuchel recommended him, he can well imagine a move to Munich.“
The first talks have already taken place, but the next steps will only be decided in the coming days – because FCB has two other candidates on the shortlist in addition to the Spaniard.”
Chelsea are at least somewhat covered if the Spain international does leave, after striking a deal to sign his countryman, Robert Sanchez, a few days ago.
However, he would be the only recognised first team option, and may see them dip back into the market to try and find another for competition.
