Brajan Gruda has reportedly caught the attention of Bayern Munich after a bright start to the season with RB Leipzig.
According to Bild's Bayern Insider podcast, the German giants are monitoring the 22-year-old as a potential medium-term transfer target, having identified plenty of potential in the midfielder.
However, no negotiations have taken place between Bayern and RB Leipzig over Gruda, who is technically still under contract with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Having spent the second half of last season on loan at Leipzig from Brighton, Gruda returned to the Red Bull Arena ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
A purchase obligation will reportedly be triggered once the 22-year-old reaches a certain number of appearances, requiring Leipzig to pay Brighton €25 million next summer.
The creative midfielder, who can operate both centrally and on the right wing, has also been called up to the Germany squad for the upcoming international fixtures by Jürgen Klopp and could make his senior international debut against Serbia on Friday.
