BAYERN MUNICH are plotting a big-spending raid on the Premier League as they sensationally target Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino.
SunSport exclusively revealed how the German champions want the Brazilian to partner Robert Lewandowski in attack as they plot an assault on the Champions League.
Bayern are readying a £75million offer for one of Jurgen Klopp’s key men as they plan to splash the cash on a new-look front line.
Boss Hans Flick believes the 28-year-old is the ideal player to bring in to lead the attack with Robert Lewandowski, who turns 32 this summer.
They already have Leroy Sane in their sights and are increasingly confident they can complete a deal in the summer.
Sane was edging towards the exit door last summer before his cruciate knee ligament injury.
They are still in the market for a new winger after Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben left in the summer.
Sane is believed to be keen to seal his return to Germany having refused to extend his current deal at City, that expires next year.
If Bayern pull off their targets, they will boast one of the most fearful attacks in Europe.
Sane and Serge Gnabry boast blistering pace on the flanks while they also have flying winger Kingsley Coman.
Lewandowski has shown no signs of slowing down this season with a staggering 22 goals in 21 matches.
They already have a brilliant midfield duo of Joshua Kimmich and Thiago Alcantara while also boasting a settled back four.
Flick could be tempted to move for a new central defender in the summer to replace the aging Javi Martinez.
They have been linked with RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano, but will face a battle with Arsenal for the 21-year-old French centre-half.
