Police are investigating death threats against three Bayern Munich superstars.

Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry were reportedly targeted in an anonymous letter sent to German second-flight club St Pauli.

Bild named the trio as the big names mentioned in the highly-abusive message.

The letter reportedly said: “Save the league, save the sport of football. Fire and death to the dirty Bayern pigs.”

A police spokesman responded: "We are investigating on suspicion of threats and disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit a crime."

St Pauli are said to have turned the note over to police after receiving it on January 12.

Bayern have not commented on the death threats to key players.
