Bayern Munich are ready to submit another offer to sign VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade in the summer transfer window.
The German champions have been heavily linked with a move for the 23-year-old striker, who has already informed the club of his desire to join Bayern.
Stuttgart rate the player highly, and they want him to stay at the club for next season.
Bayern set to submit second offer for Woltemade
We reported last week that Bayern had submitted a €40m [£34.6m] bid (plus €5m in add-ons) for Woltemade, which was rejected immediately.
Bayern chiefs have held several phone discussions regarding Woltemade, but their offer came out of the blue.
By presenting the offer, the German champions announced their intention to sign the striker.
According to a report from Bild, Stuttgart will discuss internally if Bayern submit an offer in excess of €65m [£56.5m] for Woltemade.
They will discuss whether the price would be good enough to enter into negotiations with Bayern, but even then, the outcome would remain uncertain.
Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth said that while they assume that nothing will change for Woltemade in the coming months, no one can predict the future.
Luis Diaz still remains top priority
Woltemade scored 17 goals and provided three assists in the Bundesliga last season, and he impressed heavily in the UEFA U21 Euros, where he contributed nine goals.
Bayern need a backup striker for Harry Kane, and they see Woltemade as a potential candidate to fill that role. He can also play behind the striker and would be a smart signing if a deal can be reached between the two clubs.
Having said that, signing a new winger is a top priority for Bayern, and Diaz remains a major target for them. Liverpool have already rejected an offer from Bayern, and they have no intention of selling the Colombian this summer.
