Hoeness himself has been linked with a move away after reports suggested Borussia Dortmund were considering him to replace the recently sacked Nuri Sahin before they brought in Niko Kovac.

While he has also been tipped to replace Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen in the event of the Spaniard being poached by Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Hoeness led Stuttgart to a second place finish in the Bundesliga last season and currently has the Reds sat in fifth place this term.

Should he leave, then it's claimed Fabregas is seen as an ideal replacement due to his similar style of play.
