Bayern Munich are reportedly contemplating whether to make an approach for RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku.

Bayern Munich have reportedly identified RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku as a potential summer transfer target.

While Bayern have won yet another Bundesliga title this campaign, the long-reigning champions have not always been at their dominant best and suffered a surprise Champions League exit to Villarreal.

With doubts also over the futures of Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski, Julian Nagelsmann is expected to enter the market for at least one new attacker over the coming months.

According to Portuguese journalist Pedro Almeida, Bayern are admirers of Nkunku and are prepared to make a bid for the in-form Frenchman.

The 24-year-old has enjoyed by far the best season of his career, contributing 31 goals and 14 assists from 48 appearances in all competitions.

Manchester United are also known to be monitoring any developments with Nkunku's future, aware that Leipzig may be prepared to cash in on the player with just over two years remaining on his contract.
