Bayern Munich’s coach, Thomas Tuchel, is on the brink of sealing a new deal with the club, but there’s a catch. Tuchel has laid down two non-negotiable conditions, and they revolve around bolstering the squad.
Tuchel, who was initially set to depart, is now leaning towards staying, but only if Bayern secures the signing of Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder’s potential departure from Old Trafford could be Bayern’s gain, especially with rumors swirling about Jamal Musiala’s possible exit to Manchester City.
Additionally, Tuchel insists on fortifying Bayern’s midfield with a top-notch defensive player, citing the missed opportunity of signing Joao Palhinha from Fulham last season as a critical juncture.
The Bavarians face a crucial decision as they approach the transfer window. Will they meet Tuchel’s demands and secure his stay, or risk losing him altogether? Bayern’s next moves could define their upcoming season.
Fernandes made his return from injury on Wednesday night, starring in Man United’s 3-2 home success over Newcastle United in the Premier League.
The Portugal international has scored 15 goals and registered 12 assists in 46 appearances for the 20-time English champions in all competitions this season.
Meanwhile, he has managed 79 goals and 65 assists in 231 matches for Man United since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020.
