Thomas Tuchel is reportedly ready to make a counter-offer to hijack Real Madrid’s bid for David Alaba.

Bayern Munich are set to wave goodbye to the long-serving Austrian defender when his contract expires in the summer.

Chelsea are one of several teams said to be interested in the 28-year-old, along with Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

According to The Guardian, the Blues want to make a last-ditch attempt to gazump the LaLiga giants.
