RB Leipzig's Ralf Rangnick is willing to break the club's self imposed transfer rules to land Bayern Munich midfielder Sebastian Rudy this summer, according to reports.
Rangnick - the club's manager and sporting director - has strict policies when it comes to incoming transfers, which includes an annual salary ceiling of €4m and an age limit of 24.
But according to Sport Bild, Leipzig are prepared to overlook their rules and make a move for 28-year-old Rudy, who is understood to be earning in excess of €4m-per-year with the Bavarian giants.
Both Rangnick and Julian Nagelsmann - the manager in waiting for the 2019/20 season - have worked with Rudy in the past, with the former having secured his services from VfB Stuttgart to Hoffenheim in 2010 before Nagelsmann took the reigns six years later - a season prior to Rudy's departure to the Bundesliga champions.
