Bayern Munich are unlikely to give up in their efforts to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi, who remains hopeful that Chelsea will allow him to leave in the summer, Goal understands.
Chelsea rejected the 18-year-old's transfer request on Monday and told him that they are not willing to sell him in January or in the summer, but the winger is still keen to join Bayern.
The Bundesliga champions hope that, as his contract winds into its final year, their leverage to do a summer deal with Chelsea will increase, as they target Hudson-Odoi to replace the likes of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
