Manchester United are reported to be monitoring Leon Goretzka at Bayern Munich.
The Red Devils mean business about signing the midfielder in the summer.
Goretzka has only played for five minutes in Bundesliga action this campaign, as he is out of favour with Bayern.
The Sun reports that both Manchester and West Ham want to sign him.
“We communicated very clearly from the start,” Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, told Sky Germany after Goretzka was left out of the squad for Saturday’s 6-1 win away to Holstein Kiel.
“Leon knew that we were relying on Pavlo (Pavlovic), and that we would bring in Palhinha and that Joshua (Kimmich) would play more in the centre again.
“We’ve also said that when Leon is there and ready to face the situation, he’ll be treated completely normally. Leon’s a great guy. I like him a lot, even though he’s obviously upset at the moment. I understand that too. But that’s part of life in football.”
