Thomas Tuchel back again for Frenkie de Jong

The name of Frenkie de Jong is one that rings out in every transfer market. If he already had suitors last summer, now there are even more, after the great season of the Dutch midfielder, key for Xavi Hernandez in winning La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup.

Ten Hag has not yet given up on his desire to take him to Manchester and now Thomas Tuchel has asked for him as an option for Bayern Munich, after also trying to bring him to Chelsea a year ago, according to 'BILD'.

However the Bavarian club - annoyed with Barça for the signing of Lewandowski last year and for their public interest in Kimmich - have not spoken to Barça's sporting management.

And it also seems highly unlikely that De Jong will leave the Spotify Camp Nou - or currently, Montjuïc - this summer. Xavi has included him in the list of 'untouchables' and expects him to be one of the leaders and cornerstones of his project and the player has no intention of moving.
