Bayern Munich allegedly line up a move for Stuttgart centre-forward Serhou Guirassy, who is also being linked with Manchester United.

Bayern Munich are reportedly lining up a move for Stuttgart centre-forward Serhou Guirassy.

The 27-year-old has been in strong form for his German club during the 2023-24 campaign, netting 19 times in 16 appearances in all competitions, in addition to providing two assists.

Guirassy has 17 goals in the Bundesliga this season, with only Bayern forward Harry Kane (21) netting more times in Germany's top flight during the 2023-24 campaign.

There has been a host of speculation surrounding Guirassy's future in recent weeks, with Manchester United said to be exploring the possibility of bringing him to Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, both Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan are thought to be keen on a player who has a €17.5m (£15.1m) release clause in his contract at Stuttgart despite only joining the club on a permanent basis last summer.

According to Bild, Bayern are huge admirers of Guirassy and are planning to make a move for him at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

The report claims that Thomas Tuchel's side view the Guinea international as the ideal player to support Kane in the final third, with the England captain excelling since his arrival in Munich.

Kane has scored 25 times at club level this season, making him comfortably Bayern's leading goalscorer, with no other player managing double figures yet this term.

Leroy Sane is second on the scoring list with nine, while Mathys Tel has six, but Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Thomas Muller have only netted five times between them this term.

Bayern are not thought to be planning to move for Guirassy in January, but Stuttgart would be powerless to prevent him from leaving this month if his release clause is met.

Man United need to sell in order to buy in January, though, and despite reports of interest from Tottenham and Milan, neither club is thought to have officially approached Stuttgart at this stage.

Guirassy, who has scored 33 goals and registered four assists in 44 appearances for his current side in all competitions, is due to represent his country at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Guinea will play a friendly against Nigeria on January 7 before opening their tournament against Cameroon on January 15, and his presence at the competition complicates a mid-season move.
