Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will launch a £40m summer bid for Liverpool forward Luis Suarez according to La Stampa.
The Bavarian side would appear to have more than enough firepower, especially when you consider last season's top scorer Mario Gomez is now warming the Allianz Arena bench, but it seems that incoming boss Pep Guardiola is taking an interest in the in-form Uruguayan.
The 25 year old is in the best form of his Liverpool career having scored 23 goals in all competitions thus far this term and is perhaps the most pivotal member of Brendan Rodgers' Anfield squad.
The Merseyside club are sure to fight off interest in the former Ajax man but if Liverpool fail to secure a Champions League berth for next term then Suarez may be more open to the possibility of a move to the German giants.
Suarez has begun to form a very effective strike partnership with January signing Daniel Sturridge and regardless of what offer is made Liverpool will surely not consider selling the forward unless he were to attempt to force the issue himself.
Bayern Munich sit top of the Bundesliga, 15 points clear of second placed Borussia Dortmund, having scored 57 goals in 22 matches. Summer signing Mario Mandzukic is successfully keeping Gomez on the bench and any move to sign Suarez would surely only be an option if Guardiola was looking to offload one of his two main striking options.
