The 21-year-old centre-back joined Southampton last summer but, following their relegation, is expected to leave in the ongoing window.
Bella-Kotchap has no shortage of suitors in the market, as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are both firm admirers of him.
Thomas Tuchel wants to add a centre-back to his squad and he is an admirer of Bella-Kotchap’s talents and wants to take the Southampton defender on loan.
It is suggested that the German outfit are also looking into Chelsea defender Trevor Chalobah.
And according to German broadcaster Sky Deutschland, despite Bayern Munich’s interest in the Chelsea star, Southampton’s Bella-Kotchap is still an option for them.
European heavyweights Bayern Munich are set to hold a meeting with Southampton officials today to discuss a potential deal for the German centre-back.
Dortmund have also offered to take Bella-Kotchap on loan with an obligation to buy in the next summer, but the player is not too keen on a move.
