BAYERN MUNICH have turned their attention to Willian after failing to prise Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea last year, according to reports.
The Bundesliga giants agreed personal terms with the England winger in January 2019, but talks fell apart over the transfer fee.

Hudson-Odoi then signed a new five-year contract worth £100,000 a week in the summer as he committed his future to the club thanks to Frank Lampard’s youth revolution.
Now Bayern are set to raid Chelsea for their wingers as they target soon-to-be free agent Willian, according to the Telegraph.
The Brazilian star, 31, is currently unsettled at Stamford Bridge with just under four months left on his current contract.
Foreign clubs have been able to negotiate pre-contract terms with Willian since January 1.
And Bayern Munich – who beat Chelsea 3-0 in West London in last month’s Champions League clash – are tempted to do just that thanks to recent revelations.
Willian wants a three-year deal to remain at Stamford Bridge – but the club are only willing to give him a further two seasons.
Chelsea believe they are already compromising on their policy of only ever offering players over the age of 30 one-year extensions.
But, when asked about his future, Willian admitted: “I still don’t know. There’s nothing with any other team. There’s no offer from any team.
“My negotiation for now is with Chelsea. There’s still nothing concrete from any team.
“And the situation with Chelsea is still that way. They offered me two, I demanded three, and it stopped there.”
And Willian’s wife Vanessa Martins appeared to let it slip that the Brazilian would quit this summer in a now-deleted video from social media.
She was caught telling her children that their “days are numbered” and things have “not been easy” since January.
Tottenham and Arsenal have been put on red alert, joining Bayern Munich in the hunt for the seven-year Stamford Bridge veteran.
