(CaughtOffside)</a>Thomas Tuchel’s “dream” summer <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/transfer-rumors">transfer window</a> for <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> might just be <a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com">Tottenham Hotspur</a>’s Harry Kane, <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com">Manchester City</a>’s Kyle Walker, and Napoli’s Kim Min-jae.The South Korean center-back is looking like he has a deal in place with the Bavarians, but the situations of Kane and Walker are harder to predict: Thomas Tuchel still has his eye on bringing at least two more players to Bavaria beyond Kim Min-jae this summer. English duo Harry Kane and Kyle Walker, of Tottenham and Manchester City respectively, are both heavily admired.“He still has his ‘Tuchel list’; he’s working at Bayern Munich, at the moment, in a similar manner to how managers in the Premier League go about their business,” Christian Falk informed CaughtOffside in his exclusive Substack column. “Normally the sporting director has a greater say but Tuchel is actually in the driver’s seat. Now that he has Kim, he’s still got an eye on Harry Kane and Kyle Walker. Walker is the next topic. There’s still a bit of a fight with Manchester City in terms of whether he signs a new contract or joins Bayern.“It’s a similar situation to the one facing Bayern with Hernandez and Kim – a little bit like Walker and Benjamin Pavard. It’s not true that Pavard has said ‘no’ to <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool</a>, everything is open still. Now they have to see where Pavard is going to. Walker is a solution; the player has said ‘yes’ and can imagine coming to the Bundesliga. That said, he would sign a good contract at City, so it’s between City and Bayern Munich still. Bayern know they will lose Pavard.”The question remains, of course, as to whether they can finally pull off the move in the coming weeks. With Kane’s contract expiring next summer – Daniel Levy and Co. may be left with very little in the way of choice in the matter.Can Bayern Munich get Tuchel everything that he wants?<a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1674817259368329217?s=20">Pulisic keen on Milan move (@FabrizioRomano)</a><a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com">Chelsea FC</a> and <a href="https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/">USMNT</a> attacker Christian Pulisic could be getting close to a move to <a href="https://acmilan.theoffside.com">AC Milan</a>: Christian Pulisic remains keen on Milan move.

Alphonso Davies’ future at <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> is becoming more precarious by the day. While Bayern Munich are trying to convince Davies to stay in Munich, the latest whispers suggest the Canadian left-back is demanding a staggering €20 million per year. This would put Davies among Bayern’s <a href="https://www.capology.com/club/bayern-munich/salaries/">top 5 earners</a>, just below Harry Kane, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller, and on par with Leroy Sané. Given Davies’ middling form over the last two seasons, the Bavarians may be balking at the idea of rewarding him with a mega contract. With <a href="https://www.managingmadrid.com">Real Madrid</a> ready to pounce on the 23-year-old, Bayern may already have his replacement lined up. The name of who, should ring a bell. News T. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Hern%C3%A1ndez?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Hernández</a>: Internally the 26 y/o is one of Bayern's top candidates to replace <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Davies?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Davies</a>, should he move to Real Madrid!

➡️ Bayern expect Hernández to cost around… <a href="https://t.co/vcoOAVOQuI">pic.twitter.com/vcoOAVOQuI</a>— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) <a href="https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1764718231183294660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 4, 2024</a>According to Florian Plettenberg, Theo Hernández — the brother of former Bayern Munich <a href="https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-bayern-munchen/transferrekorde/verein/27">record transfer</a>, Lucas Hernández — has emerged as one of Bayern’s “top candidates” to replace Alphonso Davies. In terms of quality, Bayern would be hard pressed to find a better name to replace the former Vancouver Whitecaps man. This season, <a href="https://fbref.com/en/players/d4c9725f/scout/12229/Theo-Hernandez-Scouting-Report">Hernández</a> is operating at 0.24 npxG + xAG, 3.73 shot creating actions, 3.35 progressive carries and 1.68 tackles and interception per 90 minutes. Meanwhile, <a href="https://fbref.com/en/players/d781d855/scout/12212/Alphonso-Davies-Scouting-Report">Davies</a> is operating at 0.13 non penalty expected goals and assists (npxG + xAG), 3.68 shot creating actions, 5.36 progressive carries and 3.49 tackles and interceptions per 90 minutes.One could argue that Bayern already have the best left-back in the world in Davies, however, Theo Hernández’s stats seem to suggest that the two are on par, with the latter being slightly more productive in the attack and the former being more efficient in defence. The other interesting topic is the price tags of the two players. <a href="https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1764767279294681522?s=20">Florian Plettenberg</a> has suggested that Bayern value Davies between €50-€60 million. Should Bayern be able to collect the full €60 million, Hernández’s €60-€70 million euro price tag, as suggested above, shouldn’t pose much of an obstacle for <em>Die Rekordmeister</em>.It would certainly be a shame to see Alphonso Davies depart Bayern Munich. However, if his heart is not fully in it for the club (which I have questioned from time to time), then it will be best for all parties to move forward separately. In a nutshell, it may seem easier for Bayern to just hold onto Davies, but given his average form, large contract demands and ultimate control of his future, the Bavarians may be tempted to look elsewhere to fill the left-back slot.…
