The Bundesliga champions are believed to be readying themselves for the imminent departures of Thiago Alcantara and Javi Martinez.

And with Corentin Tolisso also potentially nearing the Allianz Arena exit, boss Hansi Flick is seeking summer reinforcements.
Le10 Sport claim that the Bavarians are looking to out-of-favour Premier League stars to fill the impending gap in their illustrious team.
While Bakayoko, 25, featured in pre-season for Frank Lampard last year – he hasn’t seen competitive action in a Blues shirt since the 2018 FA Cup Final.
The one-cap French international has spent the last two years on loan at AC Milan and AS Monaco.

Despite this, however, Chelsea are still believed to be hoping to secure around £31.5million for his signature.
Paris Saint-Germain and Milan are also believed to be interested.
As for Ndombele, a deal may be less straightforward.
There was much initial excitement surrounding the 23-year-old’s move to Spurs last summer, as the North Londoners smashed their transfer record to sign him from Lyon.

But having fallen out-of-favour following Tottenham’s mid-season managerial change – the six-cap Frenchman could be set for a swift exit.
Given the club’s financial difficulties following Covid-19, Spurs would hope to recoup much of the £65m fee shelled out for him last summer.
With Bayern unlikely to match this figure, a compromise in the form of a loan move could be reached – as the German giants managed in securing previous deals for James Rodriguez and Philippe Coutinho.

SCOTLAND starlet Liam Morrison has been promoted to Bayern Munich’s Under 19s side and will work under the guidance of former Manchester City star Martin Demichelis.
The 17-year-old made the incredible move from Celtic to the Bundesliga champions last summer after being part of Neil Lennon’s pre-season squad who toured Austria and Switzerland.

The teenager could one day be the answer to Scotland’s central defensive problems
He impressed during his first season with the Bavarian giants at their academy in their Under 17s side and has been upgraded to their U19s side.
They are managed by Demichelis, who won 11 major honours with Bayern before moving Malaga, Atletico Madrid, City and Espanyol and then coaching.
And former Argentina international Demichelis admits he’s impressed with the group of youngsters who he will work with for the new season in Germany, including Morrison.
He said: “We have some great talent to work with here with the Under 19s.

“We want to do even better and, above all, continue to develop our youngsters.”
Morrison admitted last year he was learning a lot from Demichelis.
He said: “It’s brilliant getting advice from Martin Demichelis who was an incredible centre back.
“The experience the coaches have of top clubs and the amount of time they put in to help young players like me can only help me so much.

“Hopefully, I can progress to the Under 23s who are Bayern II, who play in Bundesliga 3.
“And then the plan is to eventually move into the first team which would be the dream.
“It was a big, big move for me, but it’s a great place to learn.” More
