Florian Plettenberg claims that Bayern Munich is contemplating a “expensive” approach to recruit Everton star Amadou Onana.
Following the Toffees’ second-point deduction on April 8, the journalist from Sky Sports Germany tweeted that the Bavarian giants have long admired the Belgian and are looking to add a new midfield player this summer.
Although the search for a manager to replace departing Thomas Tuchel is still ongoing, a contract with an anticipated cost and duration of three years and a charge of up to €70 million [£60 million] is already underway.

However, given the continuous financial crisis and the seeming lack of relief from the off-field hardships, it might be unavoidable.
