Bayern Munich are closing in on the signature of Aaron Ramsey from Arsenal, according to reports.
The Welshman sees his contract expire in the summer and has attracted interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and a host of clubs in Italy's Serie A.
But the Independent now claim German giants Bayern are confident they have fought off competitors to land the Arsenal and Wales star on a lucrative contract.
Ramsey, they report, is expected to sign a long-term deal with the Bundesliga champions beginning at the start of next season.
Aaron Ramsey will leave Arsenal at the end of the season
Bayern have had a stuttering start to the campaign as they look to defend their Bundesliga title for a sixth consecutive time.
Manager Niko Kovac is under pressure but the club's hierarchy want a new influx of players to replenish the squad.
They are reportedly interested in Ante Rebic and Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt, but after signing German midfield starlet Leon Goretzka from Schalke in the summer, they're prepared to offer Ramsey a similar deal to rejuvenate the spin of their side.
A new Arsenal contract looks unlikely for Ramsey after the Gunners spent big on keeping Mesut Ozil at the club earlier this year.
The Welshman would join international teammate Gareth Bale in going abroad and playing for one of Europe's biggest clubs.
