He is focused on Bayern, but he wants to take over a new club in the summer." He added: "Tuchel is very open to moving to Barcelona. He is on the shortlist prepared by the Barca management."
He continued: "Tuchel has been analyzing Barcelona's style of play for years, and he is fascinated by the La Masia academy. He met Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff during his life and exchanged ideas with Pep Guardiola." He stated: "Recently, Tuchel praised the mentality of Spanish players. In short, he can be described as a fan of Spain, and above all, of Barcelona." He concluded: "However, Tuchel is also open to returning to work in the Premier League."
