Vincent has got himself a really good job at Bayern and he has a previous relationship with Aaron when they worked together at Anderlecht.
"I know they are personal friends and contacts within the game as well.
"As far as I can see, I think there will be an approach from Bayern for Aaron. That will then be down to him to make the decision for what he wants to do.
"We're not queueing up to lose Aaron, obviously. We rate him highly and we like him at the club. But Bayern is one of the biggest football clubs in the world."
