Bayern Munich are reportedly planning to join the race to sign Barcelona defender Sergino Dest.
The United States international remains a first-team regular at Camp Nou, making a total of 14 starts and two substitute appearances in La Liga and the Champions League this season.
However, the 21-year-old has been tipped to leave the Catalan giants, either in a straight-cash deal or in part-exchange for Manchester City winger Ferran Torres.
According to Fichajes, Bayern intend on rivalling any offer made by the Premier League leaders with Julian Nagelsmann said to be an admirer of the player.
The report claims that the Bayern head coach wants an attack-minded alternative to Benjamin Pavard, leaving Joshua Kimmich to focus on midfield duties.
Bayern are also said to be considering a bid for Dest's Barcelona teammate Frenkie de Jong, although it has been claimed elsewhere that the La Liga side will retain his services.
