Reports from The Independent claim Ramsey has agreed to move to the German giants when his Arsenal contract runs out at the end of the season.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea were also reported to be extremely interested in signing him.
However, Bayern have the advantage of being able to begin negotiations early.
Ramsey is free to sign a pre-contract deal with foreign clubs in January but cannot agree terms with a domestic rival until the current campaign comes to an end.
The Welshman, 27, has been unsettled at the Emirates ever since the club withdrew an offer of an extension to his current deal.
And he is now set to end a ten-year association with the Gunners, having signed for them from Cardiff as a 19-year-old in 2008.
Giggs is set to name Ramsey in his Wales side for Friday’s UEFA Nations League clash with Denmark.
And he has backed him to be a success at his new club and is not surprised that Europe’s biggest teams have come calling.
“He's been linked with everyone, which is expected because he's a quality player,” Giggs said.
Wales captain Ashley Williams echoed his boss’s words and has backed Ramsey to shine on the continent.
“He can cut it," he said. “It's not really a surprise. His quality speaks for itself.
“He's been doing it for years now, he's not a young lad now.
“He's done it at international level and in the Premier League and Europe.
“I’m sure a lot of big teams will be interested in him.
“For us, he's obviously one of the most important players in our team and we are happy he is back.
“He gives us something a little bit different to the other players in the squad. He can do something you wouldn't expect.=
“He's one of the leaders of the team so he's very important.
“I’ve played with him for years and he's massive.
“We want all of our experienced and best players on the pitch as much as possible.”
