Bayern Munich are focusing their attention on Barcelona in their efforts to strengthen at centre-back, interested in Ronald Araújo and Clément Lenglet, reports Sky Sports Deutschland.
Club bosses and manager Thomas Tuchel are all keen on the 24-year-old Araujo and have held initial discussions, although the chances of signing the Uruguayan are not good as he is expected to agree a contract extension with the Blaugrana.
Lenglet is currently on loan at Aston Villa but hasn’t played a single Premier League game this term with all of the 28-year-old’s minutes so far coming in the Europa Conference League.
The Frenchman is on the extended list of players that Bayern are considering but isn’t a priority due to that lack of game time.
Bayern are also moving away from the idea of signing 28-year-old Fulham midfielder João Palhinha due to the London club’s demands, with Arsenal and Liverpool looking at the Portugal international.
Finally, there has been plenty of interest in Mathys Tel — notably from Manchester United — but the 18-year-old has decided that he doesn’t want to leave Bayern on loan or permanently.
