Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on signing Chelsea duo Kai Havertz and Mason Mount this summer.
The Bavarians want to bring the duo to Allianz Arena at the request of new boss Thomas Tuchel, recently hired as a replacement for Julian Nagelsmann.
The German has wasted little time getting started on his summer transfer plans and has identified both players he knows very well as the perfect fit for the club.

According to sources, Bayern officials have asked Tuchel about a possible summer move for Mount, who will likely be sold this summer after repeatedly rejecting Chelsea’s new contract offer.
The England midfielder is approaching the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge and could be sold this summer to avoid going for free next year. Liverpool and Manchester City have been linked with his signature, but he has yet to decide where he wants to play next.
While Mount’s situation is being followed closely, Bayern Munich have also sounded out the possibility of signing German international Havertz. However, according to a report by 90min, Bayern considers the signing of the striker more priority than singing Mount.
The Bavarians have been interested in Havertz following his emergence as a star with Bayer Leverkusen and have tracked his progress ever since his €80m move to Chelsea in 2020.
The Bundesliga giants consider the 23-year-old Havertz a long-term replacement for veteran forward Thomas Muller, who will turn 34 in September. However, there is a growing sense of belief that Havertz is interested in leaving Chelsea to make a move this summer.
