Bayern reportedly join race for Bischof

In what has been a breakthrough season for Tim Bischof, the young Hoffenheim midfielder has reportedly played himself into the sights of a number of other Bundesliga sides.

Following reports that Eintracht Frankfurt, VfB Stuttgart and RB Leipzig are all keen on the 19-year-old, Sky Germany now claims that Bayern Munich have joined the race for his signature.

The report claims that Bayern have been gathering information on Bischof with a view to signing him next summer when his current contract with Hoffenheim expires.

Hoffenheim, of course, are doing everything they can to extend the midfielder's contract, but it remains to be seen whether they will succeed.

Bischof has made 16 appearances for Hoffenheim this season, scoring once and providing two assists.
