The Belgian scout rules out an expensive move for the Chelsea forward but reveals that Pep Guardiola's side are closely monitoring Anderlecht youngster Youri Tielemans
Bayerrn Munich scout Daniel Van Buyten says that the Bundesliga champions are not interested in signing Eden Hazard due to the hefty transfer fee it would take to lure him away from Chelsea.
The German giants have been linked with a number of wingers in recent weeks as they look to add some more depth to their attack but the former defender has made it clear that Hazard is not a viable option for them.
"Bayern would never sign a player like Eden Hazard. He would cost between €70-80 million [£52-59m] and that is a lot of money, even for Bayern," Van Buyten told Het Nieuwsblad.
"They would rather sign a 17-year-old or an 18-year-old who would cost €5m [£3.7m] or so."
Van Buyten then went on to reveal that Anderlecht midfielder Youri Tielemans is one youngster in whom Bayern are showing an interest.
"Tielemans is one of the players Bayern are keeping a close eye on. He still has a lot to learn but he is one of the biggest talents of his generation," he remarked.
"I like to compare him to Bastian Schweinsteiger. He is getting older and Tielemans could be his long-term replacement."
The 17-year-old has a contract with Anderlecht until June 2016 but is set to sign a renewal once he turns 18 on Thursday.
