Chelsea's former manager Thomas Tuchel has taken an interest in some individuals he worked with at Chelsea for recruitment at Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich, at the request of Thomas Tuchel, are interested in bringing Chelsea's contract rebel, Mason Mount, to the Allianz Arena.
The 24-year-old has hit an impasse in contract negotiations with Chelsea and is reported to be of interest to several clubs, of which Bayern are now part.

Tuchel wants mount

Chelsea are yet to find an agreement with midfielder Mason Mount over a new contract as his current deal at the club expires in 18 months
The interest from the Germans is ignited by Thomas Tuchel, who recently replaced Julian Nagelsmann as manager, and the former Dortmund boss is said to want Mount—who was a key player for him in his 18 months at Chelsea—to join him at Bayern Munich.
Chelsea might have to sell
The Blues recently reported a whopping £121 million in losses for last season, and it followed a £153.4 million loss from the season before, meaning Chelsea need to bring in money to avoid falling on the wrong side of FFP laws.
After spending around £323 million on player transfers in the January transfer window, the Todd Boehly-led Chelsea are reportedly set for sales on a large scale in the summer.
And with Mount's contract situation, the Blues might be open to letting him go.
Tuchel goes after Chelsea coach
Other than the Cobhams Academy graduate he has in his sights, the new Bayern Munich manager has also publicly expressed interest in acquiring Chelsea assistant coach Anthony Barry.
Barry was a member of Tuchel's coaching staff while the German was at Chelsea and continued at the club with Graham Potter.
