After a disappointing Deadline Day, Bayern Munich are now reportedly trying to sign a Barcelona star in the January transfer window.
The Bavarians reportedly missed out on three players on the final day of the transfer, including João Palhinha who had already done his medical and photo shoot before the deal collapsed.

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah was also denied a loan move to the Bavarians, as coach Thomas Tuchel wanted another central defender following the departure of Benjamin Pavard to Inter Milan.
As a result, El Nacional have reported that that Tuchel now wants to sign central defender Andreas Christensen from the Catalan giants in January.
Tuchel is already familiar with the Danish defender, with the pair having worked together at the German's two-year stint at Chelsea where they won the UEFA Champions League.
The report adds that Tuchel has made Christensen a top target in the January transfer window, but the defender will not come cheap as the Bavarians are expected to launch a bid of around €40 million.
The Denmark international made 23 appearances in LaLiga as the Catalan giants secured their first league title under Xavi Hernandez.
