Bayern
Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed he will hold talks
with the top brass at the club about whether to swoop for Borussia
Dortmund star Marco Reus.
The
German champions almost signed the 25-year-old when he joined Dortmund
two years ago and would not be put off by his buy-out clause, believed
to be in the region of £20million.
Bayern
have signed Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski from Dortmund in the
last two summers and Rummenigge has confirmed the Bundesliga champions
are weighing up whether to launch a bid for the playmaker, who is being
monitored by a host of Premier League clubs, including Manchester City,
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.

'To
be honest, we'll discuss the matter internally and calmly. Then we will
come to a decision,' Rummenigge was quoted as saying on Goal.com.
'At the end of the day, the player has to decide too. His release clause is well known. There's nothing more to say.'
Speculation
about Reus joining Pep Guardiola's team intensified after Gotze said
last week that he 'would be really happy if he [Reus] would come here'.
Bayern's
interest will likely irritate Dortmund, and especially the club's
chairman Hans-Joachim Watzke, who has spoken out against Bayern several
times for the way they have pursued his club's key players.
Dortmund sit 14th in the Bundesliga after three consecutive league defeats.
