The Bayern Munich Thomas Tuchel version will slowly build over the next few weeks. Parachuted coach of the Bavarian club a little over three months ago, the German technician had a complicated start where he almost lost everything before narrowly snatching the Bundesliga. The German technician who has been reinforced by his management will this time be able to take more time to build his team and can count on some reinforcements. Konrad Laimer (RB Leipzig) and Raphaël Guerreiro (Borussia Dortmund) have already signed while Kim Min-Jae is very close to coming from Naples. If we also take into account the Harry Kane (Tottenham) file, he will be able to rely on nice reinforcements.
Who says reinforcements also says departures and a manager could be affected by this situation. According to information from the Bavarian media TZ, Leon Goretkza would not be so untouchable as in recent seasons and a departure would not be impossible. Arrived free from Schalke 04 in the summer of 2018, the German midfielder is still under contract until June 2026 after being shielded almost two years ago. Key in 2020 during the victory in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0), Leon Goretzka had maintained a solid level over the following seasons, despite some physical glitches. However, his position has weakened since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel.
Goretzka is no longer indisputable
Holder only four times in the last seven games of the season, he has seen his status questioned. During the title match, he had also been replaced only fourteen minutes after his entry into play. Moreover, Thomas Tuchel had changed his system to switch to 4-1-4-1 on certain matches. Rumors about his future had also arisen at the end of the season, but he wanted to sweep them away last June: “I have no other plans than to stay at Bayern. We have big plans” If his head is still in Munich, however, it is not as obvious as it seems.
Especially since Thomas Tuchel does not count on him as a key element. According to information from TZ, the former Paris Saint-Germain coach intends to keep a double pivot, but would like to associate Konrad Laimer with Joshua Kimmich for next season. If Leon Goretzka will surely try to fight to find a starting place, the transfer window can also play its grain of salt. Indeed, Bayern Munich will not be closed to the departure of its player in the event of an interesting offer. A new situation around Leon Goretzka which calls his future into question.
