Liverpool’s plans of signing Mason Mount could be ruined as Thomas Tuchel now wants the Chelsea man at Bayern Munich.
Thomas Tuchel could spoil Liverpool’s Mason Mount chase
That’s according to The Times, who claim that Tuchel now wants to lure Mount to Germany.
It’s suggested that Bayern are considering making a move to sign Mount at the end of the season.
Mount is into the final 18 months of his Chelsea deal and talks have been shelved until the summer.
Chelsea may end up needing to sell Mount if he doesn’t sign a new deal and Bayern are now joining the race.
The Bundesliga giants have just appointed Thomas Tuchel as their new manager, and he coached Mount at Chelsea.
There may be scope for Mount and Tuchel to reunite in Bavaria but Liverpool will have something to say about that.
Liverpool confident of signing Mount
Mount has been heavily linked with Liverpool in recent weeks.
TalkSPORT claimed earlier in March that the Reds’ confidence of signing Mount is rising.
90Min also suggested in March that Liverpool have a belief that Mount would pick a move to Anfield over other Premier League clubs.
Football London add that Liverpool are already planning to make a cut-price summer bid for Mount.
There have been links to other clubs but this Bayern rumour may just give Liverpool something to worry about.
Tuchel heaped praise on Mount during their time together at Chelsea and a reunion could seriously appeal to the playmaker.
Additionally, Chelsea may be more willing to sell Mount to a foreign club than to a direct Premier League rival like Liverpool.
Hailed as ‘top class’ by Paul Merson just last week, Mount could now multiple options on the table this summer.
