Having come through the youth ranks of the Bavarian outfit, the Germany international center back, 27, could make a return during the summer.
Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels is considering the prospect of a return to Bayern Munich, according to CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Signal Iduna Park at the end of the season, with his contract due to expire in 2017.
Speculation has grown that Hummels, who has said he is losing sleep while agonizing over his future, would prefer a move back to Bayern, where he progressed through the youth ranks.
