Tuchel said, there were two reasons behind Bayern Munich’s decision. The main left-back Alphonso Davies, has recovered from the various injuries that have plagued him and the availability of Raphael Guerreiro for free after being released from Borussia Dortmund.
“Never for football reasons [di belakang kembalinya dia]. He’s a fantastic footballer,” said the former Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach Manchester Evening News.
“It’s just that we already have Alphonso Davies behind, he is fully recovered from injury and we decided to sign Raphael Guerreiro for free. So the decision was only a matter of position and finances.”
