Bayern Munich 'turn their attention to Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong' after pulling out of the race to sign £100m-rated Declan Rice

Frenkie de Jong is attracting interest from Bayern Munich after the German champions pulled out of the running to sign West Ham skipper Declan Rice.

The Bavarians are looking to get their summer business done quickly in Thomas Tuchel’s first transfer window with the club and have already announced the signings of Konrad Laimer and Raphaël Guerreiro.

Despite acquiring the midfielder Laimer on a free transfer, Tuchel is still keen to add quality in the position and has identified Barcelona’s De Jong as the ideal candidate, according to Footmercato.
