According to a report from Frankfurter Allgemeine (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich could be trailing Eintracht Frankfurt in the pursuit of Hoffenheim midfielder Tom Bischof:
Eintracht Frankfurt currently have the best chances to sign Tom Bischof ahead of the likes of Bayern, Dortmund, Stuttgart and Juventus. Frankfurt are in contact with the player, his agent and with Hoffenheim.
Although Bischof will be a free agent in July, a decision could be made quickly so Hoffenheim would still receive a fee this month. Eintracht director of football Pirmin Schwegler (former Bayern chief scout) has an important role to play in luring Bischof to Frankfurt as the pair worked together in Hoffenheim and appreciate each other.
The reality for Bischoff is that he might want to make the move to Bayern Munich, but the presence of Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlović, Leon Goretzka, João Palhinha, and Konrad Laimer could mean very limited minutes for Bischof even if two of those players leave during the summer.
Knowing that, Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart could become especially appealing options over clubs like Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Juventus.
