“More reason he was sacked” Thomas Tuchel rejected Todd Boehly’s proposal to sign this Brazilian striker last summer
According to The Guardian via Metro, former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel declined Chelsea’s offer to recruit Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City last summer.
According to the report, Thomas Tuchel rejected Chelsea’s offer to acquire Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City last summer.
“After Romelu Lukaku’s unsuccessful first season back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea was looking for a new striker. Lukaku was permitted to return to Inter on loan.
The signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona came toward the end of the transfer window, however, as Chelsea was unable to conclude a deal.
Jesus, meanwhile, ultimately transferred from City to Arsenal for £45 million, and Mikel Arteta was also eager to expand his offensive options.
The Chelsea management reportedly spoke with Tuchel last summer about the possibility of signing Jesus, but the notion was rejected, according to The Guardian.
The Chelsea board was allegedly “surprised” by Tuchel’s decision to oppose a transfer for Jesus, according to the article.
