Bengaluru, February 9: Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich could scupper Premier League clubs hopes of landing USA sensation Christian Pulisic.

Liverpool and Manchester United are both keen on signing the Borussia Dortmund sensation aged just 19 but Bayern are said to be ready to provide competition for the teenager.

Pulisic has recently admitted that he could be open to a Premier League move in the future.

Speaking to ESPN FC, he said: "The Premier League is an unbelievable league.

"You never know in football what can happen, so right now, I'm focused with Dortmund."

But, according to German site Kicker, Bayern are eyeing Pulisic as a long-term replacement for Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, who are both 34 and are at the dusk of their careers.

The German champions already have Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry on their books as they keep an eye on the future.

However, Dortmund's Pulisic and Leverkusen's Jamaican ace Leon Bailey are reportedly being eyed as transfer targets.

Pulisic could be the next to follow in the footsteps of Robert Lewandowski, Mats Hummels and Mario Gotze by leaving Dortmund for the Allianz Arena.

The youngster has a contract with Dortmund until 2020, has made 17 starts for the Bundesliga side this season scoring three and assisting two.

The attacking midfielder has had Europe's biggest clubs monitoring his progress after bursting onto the scene as a 17-year-old.

He has already racked up 20 caps for his country at the age of just 19 and is quickly becoming USA's most influential player.

Jurgen Klopp is said to be a long-term admirer of Pulisic and Liverpool are still the favourites to land the American even though Pulisic is a boyhood Man United fan.
