Bayern Munich "absolutely want to sign" Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi, club sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has confirmed.
According to Tom Hamilton of ESPN FC, the winger has no intention of signing a new contract at Stamford Bridge, with his current deal set to expire in 2020. Bayern are said to have lodged a fourth bid worth around £35 million.
That is thought to be closer to Chelsea's asking price, and Sky Germany (h/t Stuart Ballard of the Express) reported the Blues have accepted the offer.
After widespread rumours linking the 18-year-old with Bayern, Salihamidzic explained why the German champions are so keen to sign him, per Hamilton:
"What I can say: We like the player and take a great interest in signing him.
