Paris Saint-Germain sacked Thomas Tuchel last December and a month later, he returned to management, when Chelsea appointed him as Frank Lampard’s successor.
The German helped the west London club win the Champions League last season and the European success was enough for him to land a new contract at Stamford Bridge in June.
In the summer window, the Blues boss wanted to raid his former club for Marquinhos. However, Tuchel ‘failed to bring’ the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge.
This is according to L’Equipe, who have a detailed report, focusing on ‘behind the scenes tension’ at Parc des Princes, despite PSG sitting on top of the league table and making it to the knockout stages of the Champions League this season.
Towards the end of the long report, Presnel Kimpembe gets a mention. It’s claimed the centre-back, who has a contract until 2024, is ‘worried’.
The newspaper states: ‘Kimpembe, who feels that, from one season to the next, the clans are reforming, the favouritism returns and the collective withers away, also wonders.’
It’s further stated the France international is ‘wondering if the grass would not be greener in England, in particular at Chelsea’, where his former manager is currently in charge.
Kimpembe seems tempted to join the Premier League side because of the prospect of reuniting with Tuchel at Chelsea.
