Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are believed to be actively chasing the signature of Arsenal and France legend Patrick Vieira, reported the Express.
Vieira made 430 appearances in a nine year career with the Gunners, and is currently working as part of the Manchester City coaching set up - specifically with the Citizens' 'Elite Development Squad' - after finishing his playing career at the Etihad Stadium in 2011.
Reports are now suggesting that Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola wants to draft in Vieira to enhance the German club's youth prospects.
Guardiola's side have their eyes set on success this season. Bayern cruised into the quarterfinals of the Champions League by handing a second-leg 7-0 thrashing to Shakhtar Donetsk at the Allianz Arena.
They also comfortably top the Bundesliga table - 11 points ahead of 2nd placed Wolfsburg.
Spaniard Guardiola will be hoping that Vieira can assist in preserving Bayern's reputation in future generations by securing future success via his youth team development.
The Frenchman is no stranger to silverware himself, having lifted three Premier League titles and four FA Cups during his time in London.
Vieira also represented both sides of Milan, as well as Juventus and native side Cannes in his 18 year playing career.
