Bayern Munich will experience a very busy summer. Despite the fact that the team that began to manage Thomas Tuchel in the middle of the season after the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann ended up lifting the Bundesliga on the last day in a miraculous way, the season of the Bavarian team has been very poor.
In the league they left the feeling of being a vulnerable team, while in the Champions League and the German Cup they were eliminated in a painful way.
So, Bayern Munich will have to close several additions this summer if they want to refloat their sports project and become one of the best teams in the world again.
And in order to achieve this revolution, Thomas Tuchel has already started to suggest to his management which players would be interesting for the football he wants to implement at the Allianz Arena during the next season.
One of them, as reported by the German newspaper BILD , is Frenkie de Jong , one of the fundamental footballers for Xavi Hernández ‘s midfield
Tuchel already wanted De Jong last summer, when he was Chelsea coach. With Barça immersed in an even more complicated economic situation than the one it currently has, several rumors were born about an interest from the blue team in the Dutch international.
The London club had hoped to get him out of the Camp Nou for around 85 million , but the Blaugrana team was impassive and ended up staying under Xavi’s orders.
Now, a year later, and after an excellent season from Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona , Thomas Tuchel, this time as coach of Bayern Munich, returns to the charge to try to have in his ranks in ’21 ‘ Blaugrana However, the value of the Dutch midfielder has risen during the past season, and the 85 million euros offered by Chelsea for his services would fall short.
For this reason, the Bavarian team could offer up to 105 million for the player.
A very high offer, but which Barça would have no intention of accepting. Because with the arrival of Ilkay Gündogan in Barcelona , which seems almost confirmed, Xavi Hernández could bet on a core formed by Frenkie de Jong, Pedri , Gavi and Gündogan, a quartet that could be considered one of the best midfielders in Europe.
Selling Frenkie would weaken that position and exacerbate the pivot problem. For this reason, despite the Bavarian intentions, it is difficult to imagine Joan Laporta leaving De Jong.
