Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno is reportedly on the radar of German giants Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga champions are in the market for a new goalkeeper with legendary stopper Manuel Neuer likely to leave the club at the end of the season.
Jonas Urbig is viewed as the long-term successor to the World Cup winner, but Bayern are exploring the market in a bid to provide competition for Urbig next season.
Experienced Hoffenheim 'keeper Oliver Baumann is one name that has been mentioned as an option, but journalist Florian Plettenberg believes that a current Premier League star could also be in the frame.
It is claimed that Fulham's Leno fits the profile of being an experienced understudy for Urbig.
The Fulham goalkeeper is under contract until next summer, but the Cottagers do have the option of a 12-month extension.
Leno has been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League since arriving at Craven Cottage from Arsenal in the summer of 2022.
He has made 165 appearances for the club and has been a mainstay throughout his time in London.
At the age of 34, Leno could still have three or four years left at the top level and whilst the regular first-team football at Fulham is a major plus, the lure of Bayern would be tough to turn down.
A move to Munich would also enable Leno to move closer to his hometown of Stuttgart and that could be a deciding factor as he approaches the final years of his career.
