Thomas Tuchel wants these two Chelsea players to join him at Bayern Munich.

Thomas Tuchel wants two Chelsea players to join him at Bayern Munich.

According to Italian outlet CalcioMercatoWeb, Thomas Tuchel is eyeing a double swoop for Edouard Mendy and Mateo Kovacic. Recall the former Chelsea Manager was appointed Bayern Munich Manager on Friday, following the sack of Julian Nagelsmann.

Per new reports, he wants both Mateo Kovacic and Edouard Mendy to join him at his new club. The duo were an integral part of Tuchel's squad during his time at Chelsea. It was in his era that Edouard Mendy starred as the Blues' number one, and Kovacic & Jorginho featuring as the Blues' major midfield pairing.

Mendy, as per the Sun, rejected a six-year-long contract in December as he believed the Blues did not show enough respect with their offer. The former Stade Rennais goalkeeper has played just nine league games this term and has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since December.

Bayern Munich will also need to replace Manuel Neuer (36) in the near future, whose contract expires in the summer of 2024.

Kovacic, meanwhile, is one of manager Graham Potter's preferred midfielders alongside Enzo Fernandez. Mendy and Kovacic are apparently valued at a combined £43.9 million. Offloading Mendy would make sense if the west London giants want to continue with Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal.

Kovacic, however, could be hard to prise away from SW6. The former Real Madrid midfielder has featured in 27 games across competitions this season, during which he has led the team out on the pitch four times as captain.

CONFIRMED: Todd Boehly finally decides on FIVE players who will be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players. Since taking over as Co-owner of Chelsea, it has not clicked for Todd Boehly despite splashing the cash to sign some of the big names in world football. Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.

CFC | TEAM NEWS Available squad numbers for Christopher Nkunku, Diego Moreira and Nicolas Jackson revealed. Chelsea are still very busy in the transfer market. Lots of players are yet to be assigned squad numbers. Chelsea have got a lot of numbers to hand out. If there is any club where squad numbers could be a bit of a mystery at the moment, it's Chelsea. After the huge influx of purchases last summer and in January 2023, the opposite has happened in the summer of 2023.

There were simply too many of them last season and they are still selling actively. It has not all been sales, as some players have come through the door at Chelsea, so there could be loads of different squad numbers compared to last season. As it stands, here are Chelsea's squad numbers for the 2023/24 campaign. Chelsea squad numbers...
