Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel may make a second raid on the Premier League this summer transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano, renowned transfer specialist and columnist for CaughtOffside, has revealed that despite signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the transfer season, Bayern Munich may now focus on another elite Premier League player.
The Italian football expert stated that Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is “really appreciated” by the Bundesliga champions and suggested that an Allianz Arena transfer for the Scotland international may be in the works before Friday’s deadline.
Looking to sign two more players, including a new midfielder, as well as a potential replacement defender for Benjamin Pavard, who is keen to join Inter Milan, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel could be in for a busy final week of the window.
And speaking on the DeBrief’s live Q&A show on Monday about the German’s interest in McTominay, Romano said: “It’s true that Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of the player, I can confirm that, but at the time moment, Manchester United have not received a formal approach from Bayern for McTominay.

“I think for Bayern, [they want] both a centre-back to replace [Benjamin] Pavard, and a midfielder, because Thomas Tuchel wants that kind of player.
“They’re still discussing now internally which one could be the best option, but for sure, McTominay is a player they really appreciate.”
And should McTominay find himself subject to a formal approach from the 33-time Bundesliga champions, a player who could replace him at Old Trafford is Ryan Gravenberch.
Linked with a move in the opposite direction to McTominay, as well as to Liverpool, Romano warned fans of both clubs to expect a final-week showdown.
