To strengthen his defense next season, Thomas Tuchel would have set his sights on one of the executives of Bayern Munich.
According to German media information picture, the Chelsea Bues are reportedly determined to sign a Bayern Munich defender next season. But it should not be David Alaba, whose contract with the Bavarian club ends next June. Indeed, Chelsea do not want to offer the Austrian the colossal annual salary of 14 million euros he claims. According to ESPN, the current 5th in the Premier League has already withdrawn from the negotiations and the 28-year-old finds himself face to face with Real Madrid.
Instead, Thomas Tuchel would have instead bet on his defense partner, Jérôme Boateng, also at the end of his contract this summer. In addition to being less greedy than his teammate, Boateng has the advantage of knowing the English championship, since he played for Manchester City in 2010. The former coach of Paris Saint-Germain would also keep an eye on the promising Niklas Süle and on the two Frenchmen from RB Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate.
