Thomas Tuchel has rocked Bayern Munich by reiterating that, despite pleas from the likes of Harry Kane, he will be leaving the club this summer.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-tuchel-bombshell-bayern-munich-boss-confirms-leave-despite-harry-kane-pushing-stay/blt791ceeedca8e0e92" target="_blank">Read what Tuchel said on GOAL. </a>

Tuchel drops bombshell as Bayern boss confirms he'll leave

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is set to sign a new contract with the Bavarians, however, he has two demands that may be deal-breakers.As reported by The Independent, the former Chelsea boss has asked the club to undertake the signing of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. There have been reports of the Portuguese attacking midfielder being unsettled at Old Trafford this season, and that would play very well for Bayern as they may lose Jamal Musiala in the near future with Manchester City very interested in the German's services.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/thomas-tuchel-bruno-fernandes-demand-bayern-munich-coach-prepares-final-decision-future/blte97fec6816c7cc44#csb9a797ce39ee743b" target="_blank">Read more now on GOAL!</a>

Tuchel wants Fernandes! Bayern coach makes transfer demand

Manchester United are reportedly considering a bold move to sign Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, according to<a href="https://talksport.com/football/1866723/transfer-notebook-man-utd-watkins-west-ham-en-nesyri-newcastle-kelly/" target="_blank"> talkSPORT.</a>Watkins has had an impressive season, netting 27 goals and matching Christian Benteke's 19 Premier League goals record in a single campaign for Villa.Watkins fits the profile of the kind of proven centre-forward that United's new minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is keen to acquire. The goal is to bolster the team's attacking options and provide support to Rasmus Hojlund. However, securing Watkins' transfer could be challenging. Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League and Watkins recently signed a new five-year contract with the club which keeps Villa in firm control of the transfer.

Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, according to <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/bruno-fernandes-transfer-man-utd-bayern-munich-b2544716.html" target="_blank">The Independent. </a>It is speculated that bringing in Fernandes might play a role in convincing manager Thomas Tuchel to remain at Bayern. Tuchel has expressed a desire for additional creative talent, and Fernandes, with his skill set and versatility, aligns with the profile sought by the manager.

"I think that in the coming seasons, he will still grow and be a better player. Baena is a great player."We do not talk about hypotheses or the future, we are not in that right now (on Villa interest). The important thing is that Baena is a player who has grown a lot at Villarreal, and my intention is for him to continue growing here. Although I always say that there are three parties, and that if all three parties agree, it can always be closed. But right now it is not an issue we are working on."Baena, who has a contract with Villarreal until June 2028, has a release clause set at €60 million.
