Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on Julian Alvarez, according to Sport Bild and Sky Germany.

The German champions, who are looking to sign a new striker this summer, have apparently identified the Argentina international as an alternative to Eintracht Frankfurt's Kolo Muani.

Alvarez has struggled for a starting berth at Manchester City, with Erling Haaland ahead of him in the pecking order.

As a result, the striker's future at the Etihad Stadium is said to be uncertain, even though his contract runs until 2028.
