Italian sources: Bayern approach Empoli goalkeeper

Empoli's Guglielmo Vicario is the latest goalkeeper to be linked with Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich have made an initial offer for Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, according to Repubblica and Tuttusport.

The German champions are still looking for a replacement for the long-term injured Manuel Neuer and are understood to have identified the 26-year-old as a candidate.

Empoli are reportedly now considering whether to let their first-choice goalkeeper go in the middle of the season.

Bayern have mostly been linked with Yann Sommer recently, but have so far been unable to agree a transfer fee with Gladbach.

Vicario, 26, has featured 58 times for Empoli. He spent the 2021/22 season on loan at the Serie A side and was then signed on a permanent deal for €8.5 million last summer.
