Callum Hudson-Odoi should remain at Chelsea insists Sarri
The German champions placed the England Under-19 international on their wish list earlier this month.
Bayern have had several bids for Hudson-Odoi rejected by the Blues, who have been steadfast in their eagerness to keep the 18-year-old at Stamford Bridge.
"I am fully convinced of his abilities. We are in talks with Chelsea."

Bayern Munich first confirmed their interest in signing Hudson-Odoi - who has made nine first-team appearances this season - earlier this month.

One man who wants to see Hudson-Odoi swap London for Munich is former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben, who believes the midfielder can flourish in the Bundesliga the same way Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson have.
“He is one of the best (young players) in Europe," Robben told beIN Sports.
