This was later supported by Christian Falkwhich echoed claims that Tuchel is talking to the English Football Association.
Tuchel has been regularly linked with a return to England, with Manchester United also known admirers of German. The Red Devils are expected to stick with current boss Erik ten Hag.
The Telegraphhowever, they claim that there has been no formal contact with any candidate. Informal talks have been held with a handful of potential options, but the concept of advanced negotiations is strongly denied.
