Bayern Munich are 'targeting £68m Premier League star as Florian Wirtz alternative' after reports Liverpool lead race for £126m attacking midfielder

Bayern Munich are lining up a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, as per a report.

The Bundesliga giants have admitted defeat in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, with the £126million attacking midfielder looking Liverpool-bound.

Reports in Germany revealed on Saturday that Wirtz informed Bayern chiefs of his desire to play for the Merseyside club, as he is keen on a new challenge outside of Germany after spending five years in Leverkusen's first team.

Indeed, Bayern have turned their attention to alternatives, with Eze next on their list of transfer hopefuls.
