Bayern Munich are set to revisit their attempts to sign Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente, with the German club set to make a bid in January according to Cadena Ser.
The Spain international forward has matured at San Mames over the last number of seasons, and attracted interest from a number of leading European teams in the latest transfer window.
The Bundesliga outfit was one of the 26-year-old's suitors, and reports in the Spanish media indicate that Jupp Heynckes' is set to try to lure the hitman to Bavaria in January. The Bavarians are currently short of options in attack behind Mario Gomez, with Ivica Olic sidelined with a troublesome injury and Nils Petersen yet to prove himself in the Bundesliga.
Bilbao parted company with Joaquin Caparros at the end of the 2010-11 campaign, despite the Basque team qualifying for Europe, and Llorente is said to be unsettled by the appointment of Marcelo Bielsa as his replacement.
The 17-times capped man topped the scoring charts for the Lions last term, netting 18 goals in 38 games.
