Barcelona could be targeting Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel to replace Luis Enrique at the end of the season, according to Sport Bild (via 90min.de).

The German publication reports that Tuchel has been learning Spanish, and may be in the frame for the Barca role. The Sun have named the German on a four man shortlist to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal if Arsene Wenger departs at the end of the season.

Tuchel’s own contract is up for renewal. His current deal lasts until the end of the 2017/18 season and talks with Dortmund over a new contract are scheduled to take place in May, but Barcelona could be waiting in the wings to take the German.

Luis Enrique has yet to be offered a new deal by the Catalan club, and after the 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, it seems likely he will leave the La Liga side at the end of the current campaign when his contract expires. It could leave Barca and Arsenal competing for Tuchel if both clubs see the manager as their number one target.
