Jose Mourinho might target former club Chelsea for player acquisitions if he becomes Bayern Munich's manager this summer.
Reports suggest that Bayern are considering Mourinho as Thomas Tuchel faces significant pressure following Chelsea's recent loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern's 3-0 defeat has put their 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles at risk, prompting consideration of Mourinho, who became available after being sacked by Roma in January.
Mourinho is reportedly learning German, indicating his interest in the Bayern role, which would give him the opportunity to win league titles in a fifth different country.
With Chelsea potentially needing to sell players due to financial fair play regulations, Mourinho could pursue some of their players to rebuild Bayern. Romelu Lukaku, whom Mourinho signed on loan for Roma, is one potential target, despite still being under contract with Chelsea. The Portuguese previously worked with Lukaku at Manchester United, where the striker impressed. Mourinho has a history of re-signing players he's worked with before, as seen with Nemanja Matic. However, doubts remain about whether Lukaku could effectively partner with Harry Kane.
French defender Wesley Fofana could also be on Mourinho's radar, especially considering Chelsea's potential need to raise funds.
Additionally, Hakim Ziyech, currently on loan at Galatasaray, may present an opportunity for a cheap deal given his contract situation. The 30-year-old Moroccan midfielder has demonstrated his quality in European football and could be an attractive option for Mourinho at Bayern.
