The German champions were reportedly in for the French star over the summer but they missed out to their rivals in part because they spoke to the wrong representative

Bayern Munich reportedly tried to sign Ousmane Dembele over the summer but they missed out to Borussia Dortmund in part because they negotiated with the wrong agent.

Dembele, 19, moved to Dortmund during the transfer window for a fee of €15 million after he scored 12 goals and registered five assists during his breakout season in Ligue 1 with Rennes.

The youngster signed a five-year contract and so far this season has started five out of Dortmund's six Bundesliga games, scoring once and registering two assists.

He could, however, have been playing for Bayern, but according to SportBild the champions' technical director Michael Reschke negotiated with the player's former agent Badou Sambague rather than his current representative Marco Kirdemir.

Both teams started negotiating around the end of 2015, according to the report, but eventually it was Dortmund who won the race for his signature.

Dortmund have won four and lost two of their opening six matches in the Bunedsliga this season and they currently sit third in the table, behind Bayern and Hertha Berlin.
