Bayern Munich have allegedly entered talks with Lyon star Corentin Tolisso.
The German champions are hoping to sign the midfielder as a replacement for the retiring Xabi Alonso, according to Bild.
Tolisso, who scored 14 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions for Lyon last season, has previously been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Blues are said to have considered the 22-year-old as a potential replacement for Nemanja Matic and were planning to offer either Kurt Zouma or Bertrand Traore as a makeweight in the deal.
Tolisso broke into the France national team this year, winning his first cap in a defeat to Spain.
