Chelsea Transfer News: Thomas Tuchel keen on Marco Verratti reunion

According to transfer news from Express, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is keen on a reunion with Marco Verratti. Tuchel has asked Chelsea transfer supremo Marina Granovskaia to get him the PSG midfielder in the summer.

Thomas Tuchel has seen through a massive transformation at Chelsea over the last four months. During this time, the German has successfully managed to guide Chelsea right back into the top four as well as pushing them to the finals of the Champions League and FA Cup.

Despite the narrow loss to Arsenal, Chelsea still remain on track to finish the season on a high. With two league games to go in the league, Chelsea could well finish third if they win their remaining games and other results favour them.

Nonetheless, the upcoming summer transfer window will be the first one that Tuchel gets to sign the players he needs. The German has pointed out the name of Marco Verratti with whom he has worked previously at PSG. Tuchel has asked Marina Granovskaia to get the midfielder for him.

The pair of Verratti and Tuchel worked well at PSG before Tuchel moved to Chelsea. The Italian midfielder was a vital component of the PSG side under Tuchel and often praised him for his managerial style and vice versa. He has also expressed his desire to play in England one day.
