Chelsea transfer news: German press deliver update on Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayern
CHELSEA are negotiating the sale of Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayern Munich.
So how has the transfer link gone down in Germany?
It is understood Chelsea have already rejected TWO offers from Bayern for winger Hudson-Odoi.
They want around £30m for the 18-year-old.
Gianfranco Zola has confirmed the German giants are keen on the player.

"I know Bayern is very interested in him, but we're interested in him as well,” Zola said.
And publications in Germany have been reacting to the news about the England youth star.
t-online claim Hudson-Odoi WANTS to leave Chelsea because of the arrival of Christian Pulisic.
Borussia Dortmund’s Pulisic has signed for Chelsea in a £57.5m deal and will join up with the Blues at the end of the season.

That increase of competition has supposedly led Hudson-Odoi to consider his future.
Sport.de also speculate that the Pulisic deal will push Hudson-Odoi out of the Stamford Bridge door.
Spox claim Bayern have learned from past experience trying to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester City that a deal for Hudson-Odoi could be tough.
Sancho moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2017 and has proved a hit in Germany ever since.

And Welt claim Bayern may even be getting a BETTER version than Sancho by landing Hudson-Odoi.
It is claimed the teenager could be the perfect long-term replacement for Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
They report: “Hudson-Odoi can express himself well, appears polite and mature.”
