Thomas Tuchel is going through complicated times at Bayern Munich. Arriving in March 2023, the German technician has experienced some disillusionment since taking office. First of all there were the eliminations in the German Cup and the Champions League. Then, his team had to fight until the last day to win the Bundesliga title. This summer, the former PSG coach did not have all the players he wanted in the transfer window since his club did not complete the signing of João Palhinha (Fulham) in time. This season, he has already missed a club goal as his troops were eliminated from the German Cup.
On Sunday, he once again experienced disappointment as Bayern Munich lost 1-0 to Werder Bremen in the league. Which does not suit the Munich residents, left behind by Bayer Leverkusen in the standings. If Tuchel is not yet threatened, he knows that his credit is running out. Especially since German leaders really appreciate Xabi Alonso. This Tuesday, Sports 1 explains that TT seems “perplexed” and even “desperate” by the situation of his team, where he has to manage the moods of certain executives like Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich or Leroy Sané.
Barça does not let go of Araujo
To get his team back on track, the German technician is counting on the transfer window. This winter, he would like to strengthen his defense, despite the arrival of the versatile Eric Dier. Regarding the right-back position, Nordi Mukiele (PSG) is targeted. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), considered a little too expensive, acts as plan B. For the central axis, TT has an idea in mind. Unconvinced by Matthijs de Ligt, who is also injured, he is very interested in Ronald Araujo, rather for this summer of 2024. But FC Barcelona, which has made him one of its leaders and untouchables, is closing the door for the moment .
Questioned yesterday by Movistarthe Blaugrana sports director, Deco confided: “Bayern wants Ronald Araujo? We have no plans to sell it. He is not for sale because he is one of the key players in Barça’s future. He has a long contract and we are not considering selling him. He shows every day that he is happy here. There is nothing to say.” Yet, Bild has things to say on the subject this Tuesday. The German media reveals that Bayern Munich has made a first offer of 75 million euros for the player under contract until June 2026. The club intends to return to the charge in the event of Barça’s refusal. The start of a long series.
