Thomas Tuchel reportedly wants Kepa Arrizabalaga at Bayern Munich with Manuel Neuer facing several more weeks on the sidelines.
The Bundesliga champions are in a spot of bother with the goalkeeping options at their disposal as Sven Ulreich remains the only fit keeper on their books. Yann Sommer has already left for Inter and given the uncertainty involving Neuer, who is reportedly facing several more weeks on the sidelines after breaking his leg during a ski trip last December, Bayern want to sign a new shot-stopper.
According to Sport1, Tuchel has requested the team management to get him Kepa from Chelsea and the club has already begun talks with the player's representatives and the Premier League outfit. Although the German manager preferred Edouard Mendy during his tenure at Stamford Bridge, he believes that the Spaniard could be the right fit at the Allianz Arena to provide competition to Ulreich.
Bayern would like to take Kepa initially on a loan deal with an option to buy. It is believed that the Chelsea keeper remains open to a change, especially as he faces competition from Robert Sanchez after he was signed from Brighton in a £25m ($32m) deal.
