  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Bayern have made no secret of their desire to sign the 22-year-old, with reports claiming they were working on a deal to sign him that would have cost a total of €250 million (£210m/$284m). However, the German side are not the only contenders to buy the Germany international, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid all interested.

    However, City have already decided they will no longer pursue him in the summer transfer window and now Sacha Tavolieri reports that the playmaker has informed German giants Bayern that he will not be joining them, either.

The former Koln youth academy star has already paid a visit to the Merseyside team's training facilities and appears to have his heart set on joining Arne Slot's team.
