Premier League clubs have been put on red alert amid reports Bayern Munich have changed their transfer stance on Joshua Kimmich.
Kimmich, 28, is a key player for Bayern and has scored 40 goals in 347 appearances for the Bavarian club since joining from RB Leipzig in 2015.
He still has two years left on his contract at Bayern but is now being linked with a move away from the Bundesliga champions this summer.

Reports in Germany claim the versatile midfielder, who can also play in defence, could be sold this summer if a suitable offer arrives.
Kimmich is third captain at the Allianz Arena behind Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller and was previously viewed as unsellable.
But German outlet Kicker (via Get German Football News) claim Bayern are now open to letting him leave - putting several Premier League clubs on alert.
It is claimed that 'if a club makes a lucrative offer for Kimmich then Bayern would be ready to talk about a potential transfer'.

Kimmich is said to be valued at €75m (£64m) by Bayern.
Who could sign Kimmich?
Liverpool are in the market for further midfield reinforcements after signing Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai and may be able to raise transfer funds through the sale of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Fabinho and Henderson have both been linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League and Liverpool will need to bolster their midfield options with an experienced player if one or both of them leaves this summer.

90min claim Manchester City have registered their interest in Kimmich, with Pep Guardiola reportedly keen to reunite with the player he managed during his time at Bayern.
City need to replace Ilkay Gundogan, who joined Barcelona on a free transfer last month.
Barcelona have also been linked with Kimmich but may struggle to afford the German amid reports they are once again struggling to register players ahead of the new season.
Manchester United have also been linked with Kimmich in addition to his club and international teammate Leon Goretzka.

Goretza has also attracted interest from West Ham and Bayern would be willing to let the 28-year-old leave if they receive an offer of €40-50m (£34m-£42m).
Kimmich, meanwhile, could be ready for a change, having won every major club trophy during his time at Bayern - including the Bundesliga title in every season he played at the Allianz Arena.
