Bayern Munich have now held initial talks for the signature of Aston Villa and Newcastle United target Brajan Gruda this summer.
The 20-year-old winger is rated highly and has been heavily linked with a move away from Mainz in the upcoming transfer window.
Gruda has suitors in the Premier League, where Aston Villa and Newcastle are keeping tabs on the winger this summer.
Bayern Munich also hold an interest in Gruda, but the club were reportedly unwilling to spend a considerable fee on a young talent.
However, the strategy seems to have shifted as according to German broadcaster Sky Deutschland, the German giants are now keen to sign him.
Bayern Munich have made the first moves for Gruda and have held initial talks over trying to take him to Bavaria.
However, the German giants are yet to hold any talks with Mainz with regards to signing the young winger.
Mainz are likely to demand a considerable fee before agreeing to sell Gruda in the summer transfer window.
Gruda has admitted that Bayern Munich are his dream, which is bad news for his Premier League suitors.

Lloyd Kelly agrees five year deal with Newcastle United – BBC Sport
An update from BBC Sport on Newcastle United and Lloyd Kelly.
They report as fact that the 25 year old has agreed a five year deal with the club.
Lloyd Kelly set to be the first new face to arrive at St James’ Park this summer.
It will be the second time that Eddie Howe has signed the left footed defender, having paid £13m for him five years ago when Bournemouth bought him from Bristol City.

Difficult to see any negatives with this deal.
Whilst the wages will be higher than would otherwise be the case if a transfer fee to pay, this is a defender who Eddie Howe already knows inside out, so we can expect Lloyd Kelly to be at the very least at a certain level.
