Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wants a new left-back signing.
And the Spaniard is ready to return to Bayern Munich to solve the dilemma.
Mediaset says Guardiola is keen on Juan Bernat, with the fullback having been signed from Valencia last year.
Bernat has strictly acted as back-up to David Alaba at Bayern, but Guardiola is convinced by the youngster's quality.
City are planning a January bid for the defender.
