RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer wants to join Bayern Munich.

The offensive midfielder has impressed in the Bundesliga over the past few seasons.

He is club captain at Leipzig, but is likely to be sold before the transfer window slams shut.

According to Bild, he is eager to join the German champions and compete for a starting spot.

Sabitzer has a contract until the end of the season, which means Leipzig could lose him for nothing in the summer.

The 27-year-old prefers to remain in Germany, but it all depends on Bayern stumping up the cash that Leipzig are seeking for Sabitzer's sale.
