Bayern Munich are set to up the ante in their bid to sign Branislav Ivanovic from Chelsea.

The Express reports that the German giants are determined to lure Ivanovic to the Allianz Arena this summer as he enters the final year of his Blues contract.

The 31-year old Serbian right-back has been offered a fresh one-year deal to remain at Stamford Bridge beyond the summer of 2016 but it is believed that he is keeping his options open.

Ivanovic has been with Chelsea since 2008 and could be open to a new challenge with the Bundesliga champions according to reports.
