Bayern Munich remain in the race to sign Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, despite suggestions that he could soon sign a new contract.
The 18-year-old has been on Bayern Munich’s radar since the January transfer window and he has so far rejected overtures from Chelsea over a new contract.
He has a year left on his current deal with the Blues and he has been keen to leave Stamford Bridge but a serious knee injury towards the end of the season has thrown a spanner into his plans.
Hudson-Odoi is not likely to be fit in time for the start of next season and there are major doubts whether Bayern Munich will look to sign him while he is still recovering.
There are suggestions that he could soon sign a new contract with Chelsea to end all the rumours, but according to German magazine SportBild, the Bundesliga champions are still very much an option for the player.
While Bayern Munich are unlikely to try and sign him while he is recuperating from a knee injury, they have not taken their eyes off him.
If a move in the summer does not transpire, the club might wait until next year to snap him up for a paltry compensation fee.
Chelsea remain hopeful that they will be able to convince the player that he has a future at the club and see him sign a new contract.
