Bayern Munich, according to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, are interested in bringing Fabinho to Germany and are actively following his position.
Liverpool are hoping to complete Fabinho’s transfer to Saudi Arabia soon, but Thomas Tuchel’s side will be waiting in the wings if the mooted sale falls through.
The Bayern Minich hierarchy is said to have a good relationship with the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, which could help in future discussions.
