Bayern sack Nagelsmann to bring in Tuchel

Reliability: 5
Yesterday, Bayern's sudden rearrangement was something too mind-blowing to hear. The Munich side unexpectedly decided to sack the head coach Julian Nagelsmann and appoint Thomas Tuchel in his place!
According to Christian Falk, the board's decision came as a huge surprise to Nagelsmann, who had just left for a skiing holiday in Austria. However, Bayern bosses are adamant for the idea of Julian being the one to blame for Die Rotten dropping 10 points in the Bundesliga in 2023 and conceding top spot to Borussia Dortmund.
Moreover, Bayern feared that Thomas Tuchel would soon find a new job amid the interest of Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur to his persona.
Tuchel's contract with the Bavarians will last until the summer of 2025. On Monday, the former Chelsea boss is expected to hold his first training session with the new team.

Lionel Messi's chances of returning to Barcelona are increasing rapidly. As 90min reports, the footballer's father, Jorge Messi, has recently held fruitful talks with the president of the Catalan club, Joan Laporta.
The source notes that Messi's overall opinion on Laporta has softened, and now the Argentine is open to re-sign for Barca.
Man City and Bayern preparing huge swap deal

Reliability: 3.5
Manchester City are set to offload full-back Joao Cancelo to Bayern Munich on a permanent basis in a swap deal for winger Serge Gnabry as Pep Guardiola looks to bolster their attacking flanks for the next campaign.
Joao, who has fallen out of favor with the Spanish manager, is not keen on returning to the Etihad and could therefore be used in a deal for Gnabry.
We would like to remind you that Cancelo unexpectedly went on loan to Bayern Munich on the last day of the January transfer window and has already netted 1 goal and delivered 4 assists in 9 appearances for Munich.
Bayern have an option to buy Cancelo this summer for 70 million euros, but they will be happy to lower the price by offering Gnabry to the citizens.
Serge must bring back to Manchester the attacking speed that simply disappeared with the loss of Leroy Sane and then Raheem Sterling.
