Bayern and Man City up for fight for Kovacic

Bayern Munich are in the midst of a footballing crisis after crashing out of the Champions League, as well as the unexpected departure of Julian Nagelsmann, who was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

Despite the team's poor results, the new coach has started to work on assembling the squad for next season. The German media claim that the coach will be making wholesale changes.

With that in mind, one of the positions to be reinforced is the midfield. As reported by 'N1', the man tipped to take over Bayern's midfield is none other than Mateo Kovacic, Tuchel's old acquaintance.

The Croatian player, who coincided with the coach at Chelsea, had good performances during that season and attracted the gazes of the biggest clubs. In addition to Bayern, Manchester City, for example, are also interested in getting him on board.

Thus, everything seems to indicate that in the next summer market there will be a battle between the German side and the English club to sign Kovacic. What's more, Chelsea need to sell, so are not ruling out a move.
