Thomas Tuchel is 'keen to replace Xavi at Barcelona this summer' as he eyes move to Spain amid uncertainty over his Bayern Munich future after humiliating 3-0 defeat at title rivals Bayer Leverkusen

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has reportedly registered interest in replacing Xavi at Barcelona this summer.

Xavi revealed last month that he will be stepping down from his position at the end of the season, leaving the Catalan giants looking for his successor.

And former Chelsea boss Tuchel has offered himself to Barcelona to take over in the dugout ahead of next season, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Tuchel spoke glowingly about LaLiga in a recent interview as he talked up the prospect of coaching in Spain one day.
