Bayern monitoring Liverpool's Alisson
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been sensationally linked with a move to Bayern Munich.
According to a report, Vincent Kompany's side are "watching developments" on the Brazilian.
"The Liverpool keeper, 31, has been linked with a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia, possibly as early as the end of the season," notes The Sun.
"Bayern, who have fitness concerns over their No. 1 Manuel Neuer, are also very keen, but it would take a fortune to land Alisson next summer.
"Ex-Burnley chief Kompany is a big fan of Alisson from his time in English football and could launch an ambitious move at the end of the campaign.
"Liverpool are braced for Alisson leaving and have already signed Valencia’s Georgian stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili, 23, to join them permanently next year."

Man Utd and Arsenal have eyes for Toure
Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with a move for teenager Bazoumana Toure.
The 18-year-old plays for Swedish side Hammarby and has been attracting interest for his performances on the wing.
"The red-hot Ivorian winger is valued at around £5 million and has made a huge impression in Sweden since moving to Scandinavia in March from ASEC Mimosas in his homeland," states the Mirror.
"Jet-heeled Traore can play on either flank and has already amassed six goals and three assists so far this season - making a swift transition from African football.
"He is represented by world-renowned agency Unique Sports Group, whose top clients include the likes of Anthony Gordon, Marc Guehi and Reece James, respectively.
"United, Arsenal, Brighton and Wolves are understood to have had scouts in attendance on Thursday for Hammarby's Allsvenskan clash against Hacken."

Red Devils looking for Onana back-up
Manchester United are considering buying a new back-up to first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana, claims the Mail.
The Red Devils are being linked with Sunderland's Anthony Patterson, who has kept four clean sheets in six Championship appearances so far this season.
"The Red Devils want a young shot-stopper to understudy Andre Onana, and 24-year-old Patterson is firmly in their sights," reads the article.
"Former goalie Tony Coton, now United’s keeper scout, is checking out the Black Cats star as he fits the bill in every way.
"Coach Erik ten Hag is firmly behind Onana as his first choice, so Altay Bayindir, 26, has hardly had a chance and may move."
