Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City star, Julian Alvarez, as the Bundesliga side look to strengthen in the summer window.
Man City Transfer News
The German champions are on the cusp of a season without silverware for the first time in almost two decades, as fierce rivals, Borussia Dortmund, sit top of the Bundesliga.
With only one league fixture remaining, Thomas Tuchel will be under scrutiny if his side are unable to clinch the league title.
The former Chelsea manager was appointed after Julian Nagelsmann was surprisingly sacked and Tuchel has been unable to improve life at the Allianz.
Being knocked out of the DFB Pokal and Champions League, the Bundesliga giants are reportedly keen to turn things around next season and invest heavily in the summer.
The 2020 UCL winners were dismantled by the Premier League champions, losing 4-1 across the two legs and has made the Bundesliga title a priority.
One player that could be on his way to Munich this summer is Argentina international, Julian Alvarez. The Manchester City star has been a second-choice option for the Cityzens, as Erling Haaland continues to break goal scoring records.

Despite making 29 appearances in the Premier League this season, the 23-year-old has only started 12 league fixtures.
However, the 2022 World Cup winner has shown his quality for Pep Guardiola’s side this season and has contributed with nine goals.
The Argentine has been prolific in all competitions, making 47 appearances and scoring 17 whilst also contributing with five assists.
A move to Bayern Munich may be key for the German side, as they are yet to replace Robert Lewandowski, after the Poland international moved to Barcelona last year.
Alvarez recently signed a year extension to his Manchester City deal, which will keep him at the club until 2028. Meaning a move away for the Etihad is unlikely and could cost up to £70m.
