However, Chelsea is unhappy with the approach and demands compensation while Barry wants to reunite with Tuchel.

Challenges Ahead for Tuchel’s Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich is facing pressure from Union Berlin and needs to improve their domestic performance. The team has a crucial run of fixtures ahead, including a tough task against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals.
