Tuchel not speaking to PSG Sporting director

The German coach is said to be at odds with his sporting director, who is in charge of transfers, after the Portuguese failed to land the club a midfielder in the summer transfer window.

At Anfield Adrien Rabiot was joined in the centre ot the park by Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria, both of whom are capable of filling in there, but excel in other roles.

It is clear that this is not an ideal sporting situation for the Parisians, who have never before been afraid to splash the cash. After all forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are the two most expensive players of all time.

The club, in the long term want to sign Paul Pogba and N'golo Kante, but did not seriously move for either in the off-season and now look short in midfield with Thiago Motta now retired and Marco Veratti injured.

'Le Parisien' say that this means Tuchel will no longer speak to Henrique and club president Nasser Al-Khelaffi is now caught in the middle of the dispute. 

Captain Thiago Silva did not seem happy with the situation. When asked about the midfield situation after the defeat he responded: ''We must ask Antero. I do not want to answer this question.''

Whether this will impact Tuchel's happiness at the club is unclear, but he has a history of falling out with club officials and his exit from Borussia Dortmund was rumoured to be due to disagreements with the hierarchy.
