This Tuesday, Thomas Tuchel appeared at a press conference on the eve of facing Manchester City in a friendly. The German coach could not escape questions about the transfer window. Regarding future arrivals and the file for number 9, he was very clear. His words are relayed by Sports 1.“Our goal is clear, our task is too. We focus on the players who are here with us. We’ll see what happens. There are still five to six weeks left. We try to improve ourselves. When changes happen, they happen.”
Then, when he was asked about the probable departures, including those of Sadio Mané and Yann Sommer, he confided: “We are focused on the players who are there. We are not the first team to make changes. This is the situation you have to live with. We don’t think about it too often. We are here to work and push our limits.” Finally, regarding João Cancelo who was sent back to City after his loan, he had positive words. “He is a fantastic footballer. We didn’t let him go for football-related reasons. We had other plans with Davies and Guerreiro in his place. João has always been a fantastic player for us.” The main interested party will appreciate.
