Over in Germany, Sport BILD report that Gordon Stipic-Wipfler travelled to Munich last week to talk about a potential move to the Bundesliga champions (Bayern Munich have already confirmed their 12th title win in the last 13 seasons).
Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich wanting Anthony Gordon to join the likes of Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz, other Premier League players who chose to move to Bayern.
