Whisper+ analysis
Authenticity (2/5): Sun doesn't always shine
Bayern Munich are prepared to blow the likes of Tottenham and Man Utd out of the water to sign Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling.
That is according to The Sun, who name Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig as other interested parties in Germany, but with very little to back up those claims.
Value (2/5): Bayern prepared to pay big?
Southampton are surely resigned to losing their breakout star this summer with relegation looming, and reports last week claimed they are asking for £55 million for the 18-year-old.
His market value is rising all the time, but currently stands at £18.55 million after only a handful of top-flight appearances. That price only seems to have attracted more suitors, and Bayern seem to believe it's worth it.
Suitability (3.5/5): In Bayern's style
Vincent Kompany's squad is full of young, creative attacking talents whose job it is to provide opportunities to old-timers Harry Kane and Thomas Muller.
Dibling's youth and trickery gives off Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala vibes, and it's not impossible to imagine him following in their footsteps next season.
Upgrade? (2/5): Olise's understudy
The England under-21 international's stats suggest he is not the finished article yet, but they were likely be better if he were playing in a competent Premier League team.
The right-winger would play second fiddle to Olise, but would get chances to impress if Leroy Sane moves on as expected.
Logic (3/5): Too expensive?
A move to European giants who have given opportunities to young players in recent years might be too good to turn down, though continuing his development in England may be preferred.
Should Sane leave, Bayern have room for another right-winger as Olise hits his stride, but Southampton's asking price is a lot to pay for a back-up.
Whisper+ verdict: 12.5/5
With a lack of information, a high price and ambiguous logic, this rumour creates more questions than it answers.
