According to the website Transfermarkt.com, Bayern Munich are interested in Galatasaray goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakir.

The speculation linking the 30-year-old to the newly crowned Bundesliga champions stems primarily from a connection within the club.

Bayern's goalkeeping coach, Michael Rechner, knows Çakir from their time together on the Turkish national team and remain in contact.

BILD's head of football, Christian Falk, explained in a podcast Bayern is indeed considering Çakir, but no concrete steps have been taken so far.

With Manuel Neuer still first choice and Jonas Urbig considered his successor, the goalkeeper scenario is well resourced in Bavaria.

BILD adds that a transfer would only be seriously discussed if Bayern were actively searching for a new number one.

Reports of an alleged €30 million offer from Bayern Munich are untrue, with Galatasaray also unwilling to let go the shot-stopper.
