According to rumors in Germany, Chelsea player Mateo Kovacic is interested in a summer reunion with Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel.
Managers frequently sign former players with whom they have a good working relationship.
Although Kovacic undoubtedly checks a lot of boxes, Tuchel may also want to bring other Chelsea players to Bayern.
First of all, according to Sport1, Tuchel wants Bayern to sign the Croatian international this summer because he views him as one of his "dream" players.
Second, Kovacic's contract at Stamford Bridge is about to expire, and because his future is uncertain, he may be open to leaving Chelsea.
Kovacic may provide the "strong player" that Bayern is apparently searching for to stabilize its midfield.
In addition to these, Kovacic, who was born in Austria, is fluent in German, which would only make it easier for him to settle into a new life at Bayern if he were to transfer to the Allianz Arena.
Sport1 says that although there has not yet been any discussion between the parties, Chelsea is likely willing to consider bids for the former Real Madrid player.
Selling the midfielder at the end of the campaign makes a lot of sense from Chelsea's perspective.
Aside from the uncertainty surrounding his contract, the Blues are currently under pressure to offload players in order to trim their overly large roster and raise money to balance their books.
Chelsea already has a ton of options for potential replacements, including highly regarded Andrey Santos, who is now on loan at Brazilian club Vasco da Gama.
Keep in mind that Kovacic is not one of the first names on Chelsea's squad sheet, despite the fact that he still plays a crucial role there.
This season, the midfielder made 24 Premier League matches, 15 of which were as a starter.
