Bayern Munich have made contact with FC Nantes regarding 17-year-old centre-back Tylel Tati, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.

Tati has broken into Nantes’ first team this season, featuring in all but one Ligue 1 match.

According to the report, neither the club nor the player are aiming for a winter transfer, but a summer move could be a possibility, with Nantes reportedly demanding at least €50 million for their prized asset.

Juventus, AC Milan, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with Tati, who is described as a composed player on the ball, with excellent build-up play and impressive speed.

He has made three appearances for the French U18 national team.
