Bradley Barcola, Nico Williams, Marcus Rashford, Ritsu Doan, Jamie Gittens, Cody Gakpo and more were also high profile names linked with the Bavarians.

Arsenal and Barcelona keen on Luiz Benedetti Sources close to the player's situation have informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal have been monitoring Benedetti for a long time and are expected to make an official move in January.

According to Foot Mercato journalist Sebastien Denis, Ligue 1 side Marseille have added Emerson Palmieri to their list of potential summer targets, with the West Ham full-back emerging as a name under consideration as the French club look to strengthen their defensive options.
