Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in securing the services of 36-year-old Chelsea coach Anthony Barry.

The 36-year-old has been at the London club since the summer of 2020 and the German giants are confident of securing his services according to journalist Florian Plettenberg. Apparently, the Premier League club have received an official request from Bayern Munich. But they are not keen on letting the coach leave anytime soon.

Plettenberg revealed, “Bayern is working on his transfer now! Chelsea has received an official request from Munich. But understand that Chelsea is in no hurry to let him go. But all parties are confident that his move to Bayern will happen. He has an excellent reputation!

Barry is highly rated around Europe, and he has worked with national teams like the Republic of Ireland and Belgium in the past. He is currently associated with the Portugal national team as well along with his role at Chelsea.

The 36-year-old was a key member of Thomas Tuchel’s staff when the German manager helped Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League title. So it is no surprise that Tuchel wants a reunion with Barry at the Bavarian club now.

Bayern Munich recently sacked Julian Nagelsmann and appointed the former Chelsea manager as his replacement. Tuchel will be hoping to guide Bayern Munich to a league title and the Champions League title this season. And he believes that bringing Barry into his coaching staff would enhance his team’s chances of winning a trophy.

It will be interesting to see if the 36-year-old Chelsea coach is prepared to leave Stamford Bridge for the German club. The opportunity to reunite with a top-class manager like Tuchel is likely to be an attractive option for him.

Meanwhile, Graham Potter will be hoping to keep the 36-year-old at the club. And it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can convince him to snub the advances of the German club and continue his stay in London.

Chelsea will be hoping to win the major trophies under their new owners and the departure of Barry will certainly be a blow for them, especially with Potter struggling to get the best out of his players.
