If Tuchel successfully returns to PSG, he plans to sign four Chelsea players.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!With Christophe Galtier’s job under scrutiny, Thomas Tuchel has been linked to a stirring return to Paris Saint-Germain. After leading them to the Champions League final in the same season, the Parisians fired the former Chelsea manager on Christmas Day of 2020. But if Luis Campos starts to doubt Galtier, he might come back.
Below, Express Sport offers four Chelsea players as potential reunion targets for the German if he accepts the position in the French city.
Tuchel has previously collaborated with Aubameyang at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, and he might be persuaded to do so again. The 33-year-tenure old’s at Stamford Bridge has been a bit of a nightmare; the German hired him on the final day of the transfer window only to fire him less than a week later.
In a scenario that is growing increasingly odd for all involved, Graham Potter has made it clear that Aubameyang is not in his plans for team selections. The Chelsea striker is rumoured to like playing with a traditional No. 9, thus Kylian Mbappe would still be a valuable asset to PSG even if he left in the summer.
One of the most likely PSG additions is Ziyech. The Moroccan was unable to transfer to the Ligue 1 champions on the deadline day in January due to a technical issue.
During Tuchel’s time at Stamford Bridge, the 29-year-old wasn’t always chosen for the first squad, but sports director Campos is a fan and might try to resurrect the trade. He would be a significant addition to the German team if he could maintain the form he showed during the World Cup.
Contract talks are reportedly on hold until Mount leaves Chelsea in the summer, according to mounting rumours. The England international could be allowed to leave soon to avoid losing him for free in 18 months because his current deal expires in 2024.
The most likely place for Tuchel to end up has been Liverpool, but Tuchel might potentially gain if he goes back to PSG. While he was at Stamford Bridge, Mount was one of the German’s best players, and he is certain to be enthusiastic about working with him once more.
As they continue their big club renovation this summer, Potter and Boehly may be eager to trade the Croatian midfielder, according to sources.
As Kovacic has long been one of Chelsea’s most dependable players, it would be somewhat unexpected if Chelsea let him go. Yet given that PSG’s centre midfield is one of their weaker areas, Tuchel is certain to be interested in him.
Report discusses if Boehly intends to see the Sunday match between Tottenham and Chelsea.
Todd Boehly is expected to attend the Tottenham vs. Chelsea match on Sunday.
The Evening Standard reports that the owner will be at the stadium to see his club play, putting additional pressure on interim manager Graham Potter.
With just two victories in their last 14 Premier League games under the Englishman’s watch, they are currently occupying the tenth spot.
After losing to Borussia Dortmund a week ago, they have also put themselves in a difficult position to proceed to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
But following the defeat on Saturday, things reached a new low. At Stamford Bridge, Southampton, who are now at the bottom of the standings, defeated the Blues 1-0.
This has, not surprisingly, led to media rumours that Potter’s time at Chelsea may be coming to an end.
All indications point to him beginning to lose the fans’ support and patience, and it seems impossible to win them back.
Yet, according to the Evening Standard, Boehly continues to back the administration and will attend this weekend’s London derby.
Undoubtedly, neutrals will be hoping for a match that is equally entertaining as the first encounter.
At the conclusion of the competitive derby, in which Chelsea played remarkably well, Thomas Tuchel was dismissed.
The fact that N’ Golo Kante played in this game only once before being hurt made it noteworthy.
Potter is probably relieved that the Frenchman has resumed training ahead of the season’s final months given he had been sidelined since August.
