The 25-year-old joined Chinese side Dalian Yifang from Atlético Madrid last year and now wants to return to Europe.
Carrasco, who has been heavily linked with Arsenal, would cost around €30 million - a transfer fee that Bayern would be able to pay without problems.
The Bavarians have already spent €118 million on new players, and they still have at least €85 million available for further transfers, according to Sport Bild.
Bayern also see Julian Draxler and Callum Hudson-Odoi as possible alternatives to Sané, as per the report.
However, Draxler recently ruled out leaving PSG this summer while it's looking increasingly likely that Hudson-Odoi will sign a new deal with Chelsea.
Additionally, Sport Bild estimates that Timo Werner will 'most likely' join Bayern from RB Leipzig.
The 23-year-old only wants to come to Bayern, and if the Bavarians don't reach an agreement with RB Leipzig, he would be able to make the switch to Allianz Arena on a free transfer when his contract expires in 2020.
