Bayern have long been linked with a move for Schalke goalkeeper, while Schalke president Clemens Tönnies recently confirmed that Premier League table toppers Manchester United have also expressed an interest in the 24-year-old.

However, Neuer, who has one year remaining on his Schalke contract, recently revealed that he did not want to move away from his homeland, with Bayern now at the head of the queue for his signature.

"We haven't made any signings yet. We all know that we can't do any transfer business now the market's closed," Hoeneß told Sportinformationsdienst.

"This doesn't stop us from making plans for the future, though, and we're thinking about signing a goalkeeper for the new season.

"I can reveal that Schalke's Manuel Neuer is one of the candidates to join us."
