BAYERN MUNICH READY TO BID £45M FOR CHELSEA TEENAGER CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI
Bayern Munich will test Chelsea's resolve
once more by renewing their interest in teenager Callum Hudson-Odoi in the
summer.
The Bundesliga champions are plotting a £45m
bid for the winger, with chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealing this weekend that Hudson-Odoi remains very
much on their radar.
The 18-year-old was the subject of three bids
from Bayern during the January transfer window, with each offer rebuffed by
Chelsea, but club sporting director Hassan Salihumidzic has not given up hope of landing the England
Under-19 international later this year.
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri labelled Bayern unprofessional for going public on their
pursuit last month, but a defiant Rummenigge said on Saturday: “In the past we
often had transfers that didn’t work out in the first place but did in the
second try.

“And as I know Hasan, he will now work so
that it will happen in the second try.”
The Sun are
reporting that Bayern are ready to offer Hudson-Odoi £85,000 a week, with the
teenager's current contract with Chelsea expiring in June 2020.
The player is yet to make a Premier League
start - coming off the substitutes' bench in Chelsea's 5-0 win over
Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Sarri spoke last week of Hudson-Odoi 'owing'
Chelsea for the club's development of him over many years in their academy, but
the player is reportedly keen to leave his boyhood club in search of regular
first-team football.
