Bayern Munich are interested in bringing one of Europe's most exciting talents to the Allianz Arena next summer, but it will take a bid of around €100 million to prize him away.
The Bavarians are on the lookout for attacking talent. They are actively pursuing a move for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz, who is also being tracked by Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, are hoping to convince the 21-year-old to pen a new contract at the BayArena as his contract runs out in 2027.
In terms of other targets, Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams is also admired by sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund but it appears manager Vincent Kompany is bowled over by England youth international Jamie Gittens.
A report from Sky Sports Germany suggests have gathered information about the talented winger and are monitoring his situation 'very closely'.
In fact, Kompany and Eberl are 'raving' about Gittens, who has scored nine goals in 24 appearances for Borussia Dortmund this season.
The 22-year-old, formerly on the academy books of Chelsea and Manchester City, joined the German side in 2020 before making his Bundesliga debut in April 2022.
He has since become a first-team regular at the Westfalenstadion and as a result of his fine performances, it appears 'numerous' top clubs have already expressed an interest about a summer move, including Bayern.
They will, however, need to spend big if they want to prize Gittens away from Dortmund, who will do 'everything they can' to keep him.
If the Reading-born winger does express his desire to leave, then Dortmund will ask for a fee of around €100 million, according to Sky, although no other clubs have yet to inquire about his services.

Last year, Gittens opened up on his decision to leave Manchester City for Dortmund in 2020.
“It was risky [to leave England] but I have learned many things by coming to Germany,” he told Standard Sport. “If I stayed, I wouldn’t have learned as much."
He added: "To be playing these top teams on the biggest stage is really big for me, and it vindicates my decision to move to Germany. I just want to be out there playing.”
