Bayern Munich are considering a move for Mason Mount, with new boss Thomas Tuchel eager to reunite with the Chelsea midfielder, according to reports.
The German giants, who sensationally replaced sacked boss Julian Nagelsmann with former Blues head coach Tuchel last week, are already planning their moves for the summer window and are reportedly keen on the England international.
Mount was a key player for Tuchel during his time at Stamford Bridge, winning the Champions League with the German boss in 2021.
The 24-year-old’s long-term future in west London has been called into question this year after lengthy contract negotiations between club and player.
Both parties have yet to agree on a deal and, with Mount’s current contract set to expire next summer, an exit is becoming increasingly likely.
According to The Times, Bayern are hoping to take advantage of the contract impasse and lure Mount on a cut-price deal, despite Chelsea’s plan to fetch at least £50million from the Englishman.
The Bundesliga champions, who have won the German top flight in each of the last 10 seasons, are keen to poach Chelsea’s assistant coach Anthony Barry as well.
Barry worked under Tuchel at Stamford Bridge but stayed at the club when Graham Potter took over last September.
