The 19-year-old broke into Forest side two seasons ago and established himself as a regular last term, with his club form prompting a first international appearance for Scotland earlier this year.
A number of Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Sunderland are all interested in signing Burke, but now Bayern Munich are ready to enter the chase for the speedy winger.
Forest are reluctant to lose Burke, but the Championship club are bracing themselves for offers for the teenager before the close of the transfer window next week and they would find it hard to resist a sizeable offer for the attacker.
