      He guided the club to the Bundesliga title last season after taking charge in March but Bayern currently trail leaders Bayer Leverkusen by two points.
      Tuchel has been criticised by some of Bayern’s former legendary players over his transfer signings and only has just over a year remaining of his contract.
      Now he has sparked speculation about his future by revealing that he would love to manage in Spain.
      And those remarks come on the same weekend that Barcelona manager Xavi announced that he is stepping down this summer after Saturday’s 5-3 defeat to Villarreal left them 10 points adrift of LaLiga leaders Real Madrid.

      “When you speak with Spanish players, I quickly get the sense that you are engaging with the person.”
      His remarks did not seem to go down well with Bayern supporters as they soon vented their fury over the comments on social media.

      While a fifth said: “No respect for the club paying his wages.”
      Meanwhile, Tuchel could emerge as a target for another club.

      Kieran Trippier breaks silence on January transfer after Bayern refused to meet Newcastle price tag

      by

      KIERAN TRIPPIER insists he is committed to making history at Newcastle after Bayern Munich’s failed attempt to sign him this month.The England defender says interest from the German giants was a “compliment” but has not proved a distraction as the Toon returned from their winter break with a comfortable FA Cup win over Fulham on Saturday night – with Trippier hoping he has turned a corner after a run of terrible form.

      Newcastle have conceded they need to sell top players to balance the books but rejected Bayern’s £12.5million bid for the ex-Tottenham right-back.
      Trippier said: “It is always a compliment when a team like Bayern comes in for you.
      “Nothing has changed since I arrived. I want to play for the club, create history and win a trophy and help the club grow.
      “It is one of those things. Things happen in the background.”As always I have had loads of conversations with the manager and they have been very positive.

      “I hope everyone knows my commitment to this club. It has not changed since I first arrived.
      “It is a transfer window and I have always been committed. It has not put me off or anything like that.
      “My teammates, manager and owners know how committed I am here and I wanted the supporters to know that as well because for them with all the transfer talk I wanted them to know how committed I am to the club.”
      Trippier spent his winter break in New York with his wife, Charlotte, while Bayern were pushing to make the move happen.

      Asked if close mate Harry Kane had been in touch trying to tempt him to Bavaria, Trippier said: “No! Everyone knows I am close with H. But nothing has changed. I was away on my break. I just had a nice time with my wife.”
      Newcastle have been frank about the need to sell some of their star names in order to balance the books and avoid any potential penalties under Premier League financial rules.
      Eddie Howe has conceded that players could still leave before Thursday’s transfer deadline, with Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson the most likely to move this month.
      Trippier said: “As players we only focus on the pitch.”Whatever happens in the background we give everything for the club and the manager.
      “I personally have not been thinking of that and my team mates have not either. These things happen. I am old enough to know how the transfer window works.”
      As well as having to deal with speculation over his future, Trippier has been battling his worst form since joining the club two years ago.
      Trippier clashed with away fans after defeat at Bournemouth in November before making big mistakes against Everton, Tottenham and Chelsea across a bruising December.
      He said: “I am happy to stand up and say that I’ve been going through some bad moments.
      “It is normal, we’re human. It’s not like we do it on purpose it just happens.
      “I’ve been through this situation in my career before.
      “Hopefully now is a turning point where I can do better, which I know I can. I recognise when I’m in the bad moments and I’m happy to admit that. Hopefully a new year and a new chapter.
      “I’m 33 but I have a lot of talks with the manager, team-mates about things we can do better personally.
      “I watch games back. Win, lose or draw I analyse my performance and know where I can do better.

      “It might be nice looking at everything you do positive but you always need to go back and look at what you’re doing badly as well as that is how you move forward. That is what I do.”

      Kimmich, 28, would be able to leave the Bundesliga giants for free in the summer of 2025.
      This means that the Bavarian side could look to cash in on the Germany international this summer.
      German outlet Bild have claimed that both Manchester City and Liverpool are “closely monitoring” the star’s situation at the club.
      The Premier League sides are expected to make moves for the midfielder should he become available.

      However, the report has also suggested that Jurgen Klopp may have an advantage over Pep Guardiola in the race to win his signature.
      This is due to Liverpool’s sporting director, Jorg Schmadtke, having “good connections” to the Bundesliga.
      Bild journalist Christian Falk said: “He’s in the final year of his deal at Bayern and they would like to celebrate a purchase price rather than lose him for free.
      “They could lose if he does not extend. And that’s where Manchester City and Liverpool come in.

      “Thiago is always injured at Liverpool and his contract is running out, [Jordan] Henderson has left, there is a bit of space in midfield and Jurgen Klopp of course knows how important Kimmich is.
      “Schmadtke, the sporting director, has good connections in the Bundesliga.
      ‘So, Klopp is also now in the race for Kimmich.”
      Pep Guardiola did work with the midfielder during his time managing Bayern, having signed him in 2015 from RB Leipzig.
      In their one season together, the pair won the German treble of the league, DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup.
      Newcastle have also been linked with Kimmich with reports claiming that the Magpies had “opened talks” over a move.

      Talks over a potential deal began last weekend, prompting Bayern to reportedly table a £12million offer for the 33-year-old’s services.
      But The Magpies are said to have turned down the Bavarian’s offer for the former Tottenham Hotspur man.
      That’s according to The Athletic, who claim the Newcastle brass are “adamant the right-back is staying” at St James’ Park.
      They also claim Trippier will respect the club’s decision not to sell him this month.

      It’s not known if Bayern offered Germany international Joshua Kimmich – whom Toon boss Eddie Howe is a big fan of – as a makeweight in the deal.
      Bayern will likely now turn their attention to signing Paris Saint-Germain fullback Nordi Mukiele, whom manager Thomas Tuchel is also a fan of.
      Newcastle are seemingly trying to avoid breaching Financial Fair Play rules by entertaining offers for their big names.
      Miguel Almiron is said to be on the verge of joining Al-Shabab after the club reportedly reached an agreement to sell the Paraguayan to the Saudi Pro League side.

      The reported deal comes just weeks after Toon CEO Darren Eales admitted every player has a price.
      He said: “On any player, at any time, it depends on circumstances.
      “It’s difficult to hypothesise but, if we’re offered £1bn for one of those players, then no one could argue against that making sense.
      “Any decision we make will always be against the backdrop of the medium to long-term benefit for the club.
      “It’s difficult to say specifically on certain players.
      “But I can say that, if we’re going to get to where we want to get to, at times it is necessary to trade your players.
      “Whether that is because of the contract length of the player in question, the offer is too good to refuse, you need to reload in certain areas.
      “But all of this could make sense to trade that player.

      “It is counter-intuitive and part of the inherent system of PSR that there is an incentive to trade your players if you want to re-invest, by the nature of the boundaries.”
