Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is being discussed at Barcelona.

The former Chelsea manager is facing the axe at Bayern as they lose ground on Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Tension with certain players has also seen Tuchel's job now under threat.

However, should he be shown the door, the German could land on his feet, with Barca monitoring his situation. Barca need to find a replacement for Xavi, who will step down at the end of the season. And Tuchel enjoys strong support inside the Barca boardroom.

Sport says a decision over Barca's coach will be made by the end of March in order to give the new man time to prepare for the new season.
