Bayern Munich to make shock swoop for Liverpool star?

Bayern Munich could reportedly make a shock approach to sign Liverpool midfielder Fabinho this summer.

The Brazil international has received a big-money contract offer from Al-Ittihad, but the Saudi club are still negotiating with the Reds.

They have accepted to pay around €40m for the 29-year-old, but there is currently a disagreement over the payment terms over the deal.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Bayern are keeping a close eye on Fabinho's situation, and could enter the race in the coming days.

In case Al-Ittihad can't secure a formal agreement, the Bavarian giants are willing to make an official approach for the former Monaco man.

Bayern are currently assessing the future of Joshua Kimmich, who is on Barcelona's radar. Fabinho could be considered his replacement.

Fabinho was recently left out of Liverpool's pre-season tour of Germany, and it is quite clear that he wishes to leave for a new challenge.

We should get a clear idea over his club future before the end of July.
