FC Barcelona appear to have three names at the top of their coaching list for the upcoming season, and the fact that one of them has only recently been available has obviously sparked a number of rumors.

Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel have made it publicly known that they will not continue their collaboration beyond the summer, meaning that the Blaugrana would not be forced to negotiate a financial package to bring him in.

Roberto de Zerbi (Brighton) is also on the shortlist, but his €10-15 million release clause is seen as a major obstacle for the Blaugrana. Furthermore, Hansi Flick, another former Bayern coach, has also been the subject of numerous contacts for the position. Just hours after Tuchel’s announcement, Flick was described as no longer a priority for Barcelona.

Barça, a great option

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed to The Daily Briefing that Tuchel is keen to move on this summer, and that Barcelona’s vacant position is one of the few that could interest him. “He wants to stay in football and come back as soon as possible, that’s for sure. We will see what Barcelona want to do, as I told you about Flick, they will take their time to decide and consider the options they have. »

“For sure, Tuchel wants to return to training immediately after leaving Bayern”, he explained to Caught Offside. Tuchel could potentially have Premier League options at the end of the season, while Milan and Juventus are yet to make a decision on the futures of Stefano Pioli and Max Allegri, respectively. There is no doubt that FC Barcelona will be one of the most attractive propositions for him, especially after he recently declared that he wants to manage in Spain.
