“Bayern Munich Eyes English Midfielder Declan Rice to Fulfill Tuchel’s Request for Defensive Midfielder”

After a season well below expectations that could even leave Bayern without touching silver, the technical secretariat of the German colossus has already set to work to put together a squad that will return the Bavarians to the fight for the Champions. In addition to a striker, the coach Thomas Tuchel would have asked for a defensive midfielder that he once again provide Bayern with full guarantees when it comes to avoiding those kickbacks that did so much damage throughout this course.

According to information from Bild, the English midfielder Declan Rice would be chosen by Bayern, especially if it were necessary to replace Joshua Kimmich, linked in the last hours with Barcelona. Rice ends his contract in 2024 with West Ham and, although he has the option to extend it until 2025, everything indicates that he will change the scene in the next transfer window. This is an express request from Tuchel and its current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is 80 million euros.

Just in its very high price would be the difficulty to a Bayern that, except for surprise, will not execute the purchase option set at 70 million euros by João Cancelo. Plus, the Allianz Arena infield isn’t the only team to keep an eye on Rice. Chelsea and Arsenal, both with a much higher budget than the Munich players, are also after a player who, yes, needs Tuchel as a food so that his team can once again be reliable in its defensive tasks.
