German publication Sport Bild has reported that the Bavarians are considering a move for the Spaniard, who spent three years at Bayern between 2013 and 2016 before his venture into English football.

The 47-year-old tactician won seven trophies in his three years at Bayern, but those successes were overshadowed by the club's failure to win the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy in that period.
Certain players were believed to not see eye to eye with Guardiola at the time too, which saw his exit from the Allianz Arena in 2016 welcomed by many in and around the German giants.
The former FC Barcelona boss has had a successful stay at City thus far, but there seems to be a feeling this could be his last season in England, despite his current contract only expiring in 2021.
