Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac has refused to rule out a move for Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez, playfully suggesting the club will wait to see "what baby Jesus" brings them over Christmas.
On Wednesday, Lucas was the subject of rumours in the Spanish media claiming he was closing in on a move to Bayern in January.
The story said Bayern were willing to trigger the France international's reported €80 million (£72m/$91m) release clause, though an Atletico statement soon dismissed the claims.
