Sport Bild in Germany claims Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is spearheading the London club's push to land Tuchel as a successor to Antonio Conte with an approach already made.
It is also claimed there is a growing tension between Conte and the board over transfer budgets at Stamford Bridge with a new manager already a priority for the English champions.
Granovskaia played a key role in signing Spain striker Diego Costa, a figure who has been axed by Conte as he seeks a move back to Atletico Madrid.
It is claimed Granovskaia and Conte's relationship is at breaking point with the belief that Tuchel is a man more likely to blood younger players.
The 43-year-old spent two years at Dortmund, departing the scene after the club won the German Cup final last season.
