Manchester City winger Leroy Sane and Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick 'exchanged a 30-minute phone call', according to reports in Germany.
Sane has been the Bundesliga side's No 1 target since last summer but a knee ligament injury picked up in August's Community Shield ended any hopes of a transfer.
The German international is now fit again and but Bayern have had a change in manager since the club's previous interest with Hansi Flick taking over from Niko Kovac.
However, Flick has reportedly been convinced to pursue a transfer after a 30-minute phone call with the winger, according to German outlet SportBild.
