Bayern chase Gourcuff

Bayern Munich are apparently ready to make a January transfer window move for French star Yoann Gourcuff from AC Milan. The Frenchman is currently on loan at Bordeaux.

Gourcuff has been one of Bordeaux's best players over the last year under Laurent Blanc, and the club's coach is desperate to keep the Frenchman at the club.

Bordeaux have first option on the player, but with Franck Ribery seemingly heading for the Munich exit door, Gourcuff has been mooted as a potential successor in a deal worth around 9 million GBP from Milan.
