German champions Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in bringing Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino to the Allianz Arena in the summer as the Bundesliga club continues to search for a striker.
According to Media Foot, Bayern are closely monitoring Firmino’s situation at Liverpool as the Brazilian’s contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season.
This would allow the German giants to pick up the 31-year-old for free, but they also have other targets, according to the report, including Marcus Thuram and Olivier Giroud.
Bayern never replaced Robert Lewandowski in the summer and coming out of the age profile of two of the players mentioned above, the German club are looking for a short-term solution until they find a striker to guide them into the future.

Firmino has been in great form for Liverpool this season, scoring seven goals and assisting three others in 13 Premier League games.
However, the 31-year-old is a player the Reds can afford to let go following the arrival of Cody Gakpo, but that’s not something Jurgen Klopp wants to do as the German manager hopes the striker will stick around, claims the Daily Mail.
However, Firmino is likely to decide his future and could opt for a change of scenery in the summer by returning to Germany after having moved from the country eight years ago.
