However, it is claimed the Cottagers will only approve the potential move if they can find a "top replacement" before the transfer window comes to a close on Friday night, with manager Marco Silva said to be intent on keeping the 28-year-old at Craven Cottage.
Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel has reportedly demanded that his club sign a player who can fill the "holding six" position, having complained that he has too few players for this role.

The Portugal international is reportedly keen to join the Bavarians, who earlier in the transfer window signed Kane from Tottenham Hotspur for a reported fee of £100 million (R2.3 billion).
