Should Kim Min-Jae leave the club this summer, Bayern would go for another centre-back in addition to Jonathan Tah.

Hiroki Itō is still sidelined for a lengthy period and Josip Stanišić is planned to cover both at centre-back and right-back.

Dayot Upamecano and Tah are expected to be the starting duo in defence next season.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen are playing hard ball with Bayer regarding the 29-year-old's transfer.

Die Rekordmeister, who are hoping to lure him to the club before the Club World Cup starts, could have to pay a 7-figure fee for his early release.
