James Rodriguez is not the only player who is struggling at Bayern Munich this season. His fellow midfielder, Renato Sanches who had a loan spell at Swansea in the Premier League, is now wanting a move elsewhere to revive his career after failing to get sufficient game time at the home of the Bundesliga Champions.

According to reports, PSG is interested in signing the Portuguese playmaker but has been put away by the huge asking price of Bayern. PSG is set to lose one of their midfielder, Adrion Rabiot which makes Sanches a direct replacement for the Frenchman. However, with both the clubs reluctant to negotiate on their terms, a deal in January looks unlikely.

RB Leipzig manager, Ralf Rangnick said earlier that it would be challenging to hold Timo Werner if Bayern Munich is serious about signing the forward. According to recent reports, another top European club, Liverpool have now entered the race to sign the German International who is believed to be admired highly by Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool has previously signed Nabi Keita from RB Leipzig, and a deal for Timo could not be ruled out either. Werner, who has 13 goals and two assists across twenty appearances this season could be a natural replacement for Frank Ribery at Bayern Munich. His versatility upfront would give a new dimension to the reigning Bundesliga Champions.
