Bayern Munich transfer targets, rumours and odds: More English reinformcents on the way?

The January transfer window is nearing an end but Bayern Munich transfer rumours are continuing to swirl as we enter the final week of the German window.

The Bundesliga giants face a tense end to the season with Bayer Leverkusen still top of the league after going unbeaten through their first 18 games of the season. Bayern Munich trail Xabi Alonso's men by seven points and could need reinforcements if they are to successfully hunt them down and win their 12th consecutive title.

As always, Bayern will also have their eye on the Champions League. Thomas Tuchel's side qualified for the round of 16 as group winners and have a tie with Lazio to look forward to in February and March. The club have won the competition six times with their latest triumph coming in 2020.

As far as confirmed Bayern Munich signings this January, the club have brought in Eric Dier on loan from Tottenham. The England international has linked up with Harry Kane, who signed for the club six months ago, and could more be on the way?

Kieran Tripper (1/2)

Kieran Trippier has emerged as Bayern Munich's top transfer target with Thomas Tuchel extremely keen on the Newcastle full back. Bayern have reportedly had a £13m offer for Trippier rejected by the Magpies but they are expected to have one more attempt before the transfer window closes. Trippier is reportedly open to the move which would see him join up with England teammates, Harry Kane and Eric Dier.

Nordi Mukiele (4/1*)

Nordi Mukiele is another right back that Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in. The PSG defender was their primary target before moving for Trippier but according to reports in Germany, Bayern could now come back in for him after their Trippier offer was rejected. The player is keen on the move and would be sold at the right price.

Fikayo Tomori (10/1*)

Thomas Tuchel has clearly been targeting improvements to his defence this January and AC Milan‘s Fikayo Tomori has been continuously linked with Bayern throughout the month. Talks of a deal have cooled since Eric Dier moved to Bavaria and it would take an offer of more than €40m to make the Italian outfit consider the sale. This is perhaps one to keep an eye on in the summer.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (5/1*)

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has been linked with a move away from Bayern Munich this winter with the Cameroon forward reportedly looking for more first team chances. Harry Kane has been incredible for Bayern all season which has meant Choup-Moting has spent much of the season on the bench. Manchester United are reportedly interested in the experienced frontman and could make a late loan move for him.

Matthijs de Ligt (10/1*)

Matthijs de Ligt is another Bayern Munich player who has grown frustrated with a lack of game time this season. De Ligt came through the Ajax academy and was tipped for big things but after two failed stints and Juventus and Bayern, he may need to rebuild his career elsewhere. A move is more likely in the summer, unless the managerial situation changes, with Manchester United and Chelsea both interested.

Leon Goretzka (20/1*)

Leon Gortezka reportedly wants out of Bayern Munich in the summer but if a big offer comes in for the midfielder this month then the move could happen sooner. Liverpool and Manchester United were linked with him in the summer while West Ham have been linked more recently. Goretzka certainly has the physical attributes to succeed in the Premier League so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
