L'Equipe reports that Bayern have reached an agreement with the defensive midfielder and that the Bavarians are willing to pay the €40 million release clause in his contract.
However, Bild claims no deal has been reached yet. According to the German news outlet, Bayern are in advanced negotiations to sign the 22-year-old, but the two clubs are yet to agree on a transfer fee.
Meanwhile, Renato Sanches is set to leave Bayern for a move to Lille. The Portuguese midfielder has arrived in France ahead of a medical, as seen in the video below.
