Bayern Munich’s manager Thomas Tuchel is eyeing a return to the Premier League this summer, despite interest from Barcelona, as reported by ESPN.
Tuchel is poised to depart Bayern at the season’s end, despite guiding them to the Champions League semifinals. While Barcelona has identified the 50-year-old as a potential successor to Xavi Hernandez, who is also expected to leave his role, Tuchel leans towards a job in England, having previously managed Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022.
Although not ruling out a move to Barcelona if an offer materializes, Tuchel harbors concerns about the club’s stability, particularly regarding potential limitations in transfer funds to strengthen the squad. Barcelona is also considering Rafael Márquez and Hansi Flick for the managerial position.
