Bayern Munich are keeping an eye on Frenkie de Jong's situation at Barcelona, according to Sky Germany. The Bavarians were reportedly interested in him last summer but couldn't make it happen due to Thomas Tuchel's request for a defensive midfielder not being approved by the Bayern board.

Even though Tuchel might not be the manager next season, Bayern still see getting a defensive midfielder as crucial. De Jong is now back on the club's transfer list, but it's unclear if a transfer will happen this summer due to De Jong's high salary demands. The Dutchman's contract with Barcelona runs until 2026, so Bayern might wait for a better opportunity to sign him at a lower fee if transfer estimates are too far apart with Barcelona at the moment.

Bayern are planning to make significant investments in their squad this summer to compete for the Bundesliga title again. Will De Jong be a good addition to the Bayern ranks? Let me know your thoughts...
