Manchester United are keen to tie Scott McTominay down to a new contract.
The 27-year-old Scot’s deal with the club expires next summer, and he has been linked with moves to Bayern Munich and West Ham in recent months.
But despite coming close to being sold last summer, the midfielder has "won over" Erik Ten Hag.
And the club are now keen to speak to McTominay about activating a clause to extend his contract by a further year.
Ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is coming under pressure at Bayern according to Bild.
The Bavarian side trail Leverkusen by seven points in the title race.
Uli Hoeness is understood to be unsure on Tuchel's quality but does not want the club to sack yet another manager.
That's the main reason he is safe for now.
There are also suggestions that some club officials are growing frustrated with the club's Premier League-focused approach.
The club signed Eric Dier from Tottenham and are pushing hard for Kieran Trippier.
West Ham have agreed to sign Kalvin Phillips on a six month loan from Manchester City.
The midfield will undergo a medical at his new club in the coming week.

West Ham have had an initial bid for wonderkid Ibrahim Osman rejected.
The Irons have been in talks with Danish side Nordsjaelland over a possible move for the Ghanaian, 19.
But a first offer of £16million has been snubbed - leaving the Hammers to mull over whether to return with an improved proposal.

He is the product of the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, which also produced current West Ham star Mohammed Kudus.
Chelsea have registered their interest in signing Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad, according to reports.

The 18-year old is one of the highest rated young wingers in Europe.

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks to sign Ajax winger Carlos Borges on loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The club are also getting closer to bringing in America and AC Milan attacking midfielder Gio Reyna on loan.
Looks like Forest will be lining up with a very different forward line very soon.
The Paris Olympic games are reportedly a huge focus for Kylian Mbappe next year.
The forward may become a free agent next summer when his contract expires so he can play in both the Euros and Olympic games without his club stopping him.
He would then sign for a club at a later date than he otherwise normally would, according to Ben Jacobs.
Nottingham Forest are set to sign USA international Gio Reyna on loan from Borussia Dortmund.
Reyna's current contract expires in June 2025 and he is keen to play regular football.
ince missing the opening month of the season through injury, the 21-year-old has started just two games for Dortmund, with 11 appearances off the bench.
However, Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo believes he can revive Reyna's career at the City Ground.
He shares the same super agent as Reyna, Jorge Mendes, after the midfielder joined forces with the Portuguese star maker in December.
Reyna, son of former Rangers, Sunderland and Manchester City star Claudio Reyna, is seen as a major asset for Forest as he can play as a winger or operate as an attacking No.10.

“[Did I realise the significance of the deal?] Only when he arrived.

"He was on the phone when he arrived, and he was going 'I'm trying to secure the Cristiano Ronaldo deal'.
"At that point it was looking like he was going to Manchester City. And then he [Ed] got the confirmation call.
“I’ve got a picture of him sat in a chair at the back of the garden, doing the deal."

Premier League star Kyle Bartley is wanted by Luton, according to reports.
The Hatters sit 18th in the Premier League and are looking to bolster their squad ahead of a fight to avoid relegation.

West Brom star Bartley, 32, is a transfer target for Rob Edwards' side, claim The Telegraph.

Manchester United lead the race to sign Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee despite interest from rivals Arsenal.
The Red Devils are the only club to have held transfer talks with the former Bayern Munich star.
Zirkzee, 22, rose through the youth system at Bayern Munich but struggled to make the breakthrough at senior level before joining Bologna in 2022.
After a slow debut year in Italy, the forward has impressed this term after scoring seven goals and creating two assists in 19 Serie A appearances this year.

Reports have claimed that Zirkzee’s contract with Bologna includes a £34m release clause.

Trippier could follow his former Spurs team-mates to the Allianz Arena this month.
Bayern Munich are eager to conduct a transfer quickly and a final decision on whether or not to make an offer will be made today, report Bild.
Boss Thomas Tuchel is understood to be a huge admirer of Trippier, who has been described as the German's "dream player".
Trippier, 33, and Newcastle could both be open to the move, with the right-back in the final 18 months of his contract.
However Toon would be keen to agree a permanent switch rather than a loan, with Trippier valued between £8.5-£13million.
Arsenal have sent scouts to watch Paris Saint-Germain loanee Xavi Simons play for RB Leipzig, according to reports.
The Dutch winger, 20, joined the German club at the beginning of the season and has impressed with seven goals and nine assists in 27 games.
Arsenal were first linked with a move for Simons last season when he enjoyed a stellar campaign with PSV.
He managed 34 goal contributions in 48 matches for the Dutch giants.
But the Gunners missed out on his signature in the summer as PSG triggered a secret transfer clause which enabled them to re-sign the player they let go in 2022 for just £5.1million.
Yet despite failing in their pursuit of him less than 12 months ago, Arsenal are ready to re-ignite their interest in the attacker.
According to HITC, they recently sent scouts to watch a number of players in the Bundesliga – one of which was Simons.
Bacary Sagna believes Arsenal will profit massively from their break over the winter period.
Sagna told Paddy Power: “Arsenal needed the break, mentally.
“Especially after the long season last season, and at the end of it they went to their respective national teams – they can never switch off.
“Sometimes they need to come back fresh, which is important, and to bring that positive vibe into their training sessions.
“It is vital for players to have that time to recharge.”
Louis Saha has tipped Victor Osimhen to join Chelsea instead of his old club Man Utd.
Saha told Paddy Power: "Victor Osimhen is a striker who is full of confidence at the moment, and I can see him going to Chelsea.
"He’s won individual and team trophies, and he’s a top striker. I’m sure he’s the type of player who is willing to do anything to join the Premier League.
"I heard that he was a fan of Manchester United – so I hope he goes to the Theatre of Dreams!
“He is demanded by many clubs, and if clubs have the capacity to bring him to the Premier League, they should do it.
"He will guarantee you goals, confidence and experience, he won the Scudetto with Napoli which is not easy.
"I want to see him in the Premier League soon – I don’t think in this transfer window, but hopefully soon.”
Teddy Sheringham has blasted United for not signing Harry Kane and Declan Rice.
Sheringham told Gambling Zone: "Top players elevate you. They elevate the players around them and raise standards. Fergie would always bring in that type of player if he felt it would improve his team.
"These are the type of players that perform to a high standard every single week. These are the type of players that can drag a team over-the-line in a tight game.
"Declan Rice would have done that in midfield and Harry Kane would have done that upfront. Signings like that have a transformational effect on the entire football club."
