    But Chelsea want £65m for their academy graduate.
    And now United could spectacularly miss out on Mount – because Bayern Munich are reportedly stepping up their interest.

    It is understood the German would be keen to be reunited with the English midfielder.

    However, it remains unclear if Mount would want to make the switch to the Bundesliga – although he would be guaranteed to be challenging for titles and Champions League football at the Allianz Arena.
    Tuchel also wanted Kai Havertz who is heading to Arsenal while Mateo Kovacic looks set to sign for Manchester City for £25m.
    United could even walk away from negotiations altogether as they do not want to pay more than they feel Mount is worth.
    Director of Football John Murtough is said to be fuming with the Blues over their transfer dealings.
    And Erik ten Hag has drafted a four-man shortlist of alternative midfielders – with Brighton ace Moises Caicedo understood to be on there.

    He went on to claim that Bayern have been speaking with Kane’s family around the logistics of relocating to Bavaria.
    Falk says that the feeling coming out of Kane’s camp is that the striker is “still thinking” about a move to the Bundesliga.
    Bayern have retained an interest in Kane since the end of the season but faced competition from Manchester United and Real Madrid.
    However Daniel Levy’s firm £100million price tag has seen both United and Madrid cool their interest in Kane.

    United have limited funds available until their takeover is cleared, much to the frustration of manager Erik Ten Hag.
    They are unwilling to spend £100m on a 29-year-old that has a year left on his contract.
    Madrid meanwhile would struggle to raise the necessary funds having signed Bellingham in a British record £115m deal.
    Whether Bayern could afford to stump-up the £100m asking price remains to be seen but Spurs would be tempted to sell to a team outside the Premier League.

    The temptation will be particularly strong given Kane will be able to decide his own club next summer when his contract expires.
    Bayern are in the market for a striker having failed to replace Robert Lewandoswki after he left for Barcelona last year.
    One way in which they could fund the costly deal would be through player sales.
    Thomas Tuchel is prepared to let a number of high-profile players go as he enters his first full season in charge.
    Benjamin Pavard, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane are all reportedly transfer listed. More

    But Sky Sports report that City are unwilling to let the defender go this summer despite him only having a year remaining on his deal.
    And as a result, Tuchel will look to reunite with Cesar Azpilicueta, 33, according to German outlet Bild.
    The two worked together during Tuchel’s spell in charge of Chelsea between January 2021 and September 2022.
    Under Tuchel’s reign Azpilicueta captained Chelsea to Champions League victory in 2021 as well as the Club World Cup later that year.

    The Spaniard still has a year left on his contract at the Bridge but an offer from Bayern could see the Blues cash-in as they trim their bloated squad.
    Azpilicueta would be following Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech and N’golo Kante out the door if he were to bring his 11 year spell at Chelsea to an end this summer.
    It has been a frustrating window for Bayern so far as Tuchel looks to mould the squad to his needs.

    The Bavarian side were knocked out of the DFB Pokal in Tuchel’s second game and were beaten convincingly by Manchester City in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
    And while they finished the season as Bundesliga champions it was achieved amid a fraught squad atmosphere.
    The Bavarian club have so far missed out on targets Declan Rice and look set to fail in their pursuit of Walker.
    Tuchel is rumoured to approve of the sale of a number of players including: Benjamin Pavard, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane as he looks to put his stamp on things. More
