Bayern Munich are heavily reliant on Manuel Neuer but the German goalkeeper looks to have past his good days and is entering the twilight of his career.

The German giants are hoping to scoop the Senegalese as a way to bring competition in the goalkeeping department of the club.

Mendy joined the English giants in the summer of 2020 from Stade Rennais, and has since won the UEFA Champions League, the Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
