Bayern Munich have been tipped to sign a superstar forward in a monstrous deal after seemingly missing out on Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz is attracting plenty of interest across Europe following his stellar performances for Bayer Leverkusen in recent seasons.
He helped his side win the Bundesliga title last season, scoring 11 league goals. He bagged 10 league goals this season as he continued to enhance his budding reputation.
Bayern have been keeping tabs on Wirtz, but it appears Premier League champions Liverpool are leading the race to his signature.

But Bayern could still bring in a big-name forward this summer.
They have been linked with AC Milan's Rafael Leao, who has been rumoured to leave Italy amid intense transfer speculation.
Leao, 25, has been heavily linked with a move away from Milan and this summer could see the club and player go their separate ways.
That's according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim Milan's valuation needs to be met.

Leao is under contract until 2028 and has a whopping €175 million (£147 million) release clause.
But his release clause has been described as an 'unrealistic figure', with Milan slapping a €130 million (£109 million) price tag on the head of their prize asset.
However, after a disappointing season, it's not ruled out that the price would go down further.

Saudi Pro League sides Al Ittihad, Al Hilal and Al Nassr, who could be on the hunt to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, are also eyeing the Portuguese's situation at Milan.
Arsenal are also interested, per the report.
Leao, who began his career at Sporting CP, has been at Milan since 2019 following his €35 million (£29 million) move from Lille.
He has made 260 appearances across all competitions for the club, scoring 70 goals.

This season, Leao scored 12 goals in 50 matches.
