Bayern Munich are ready to end Manchester United's hopes of signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, according to reports in Germany.
The Red Devils' hopes of snapping up Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani have also appeared to lessen after the French club's owner, Nasser Al Khelaifi, reiterated the Uruguayan is going nowhere.
Gundogan, who was reported to be "close" to an Old Trafford switch by Sky Sports, is now capturing interest from Bayern, according to Bild. Bundesliga pundit and former Norway international Jan Aage Fjortoft provided comment:
Bild reporting that Gündogan could be on his way to Bayern, but Manchester United trying to snap him.
