The German giants are eyeing a move for the French international when the transfer window reopens in January, according to Bild.

Sissoko, a 20-year-old promising midfielder, has reportedly attracted interest from several European clubs including Italian duo AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Bayern might be looking to reinforce their squad in January after enduring a disappointing run of form in the Bundesliga.

They lie eighth in the 18-team table with 20 points from 12 games.
