Bayern Munchen are in talks with Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, despite reports that he has signed a pre-contract with Manchester United, according to Bild.
The German international is fully expected to arrive at Old Trafford this summer amidst reports he has signed a pre-contract.
Having struggled in recent seasons with injuries, the midfielder has returned to find his best form for Bundesliga side Bortmund, impressing United and a number of other European sides.
However, despite United’s interest and claimed contract; further reports in German press claim that Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has offered a contract worth just under £6m-per-season.
Guardiola is keen to bring in a number of players this season at Allianz Arena after failing to qualify for the final of the Champions League for a second consecutive season.
That could spell good news for United, however, who have been interested in signing Bastian Schweinsteiger this season.
The World Cup winner has cited a desire to move on and try his luck abroad before he ages.
