Callum Hudson-Odoi will try to force Chelsea to part ways with him this month, with Bayern Munich publically confirming their interest in the 18-year-old.
A bid in the region of £35m is on the table from the reigning German champions, and the Mail report that the exciting teenage prodigy is ready to refuse any contract extension offered by the Blues - leaving them facing the prospect of losing him cheaply in the coming summer or even for free 12 months later.
Hudson-Odoi's issues with Chelsea are, by all accounts, about the amount of playing time he will get in Maurizio Sarri's system rather than any financial package that is being offered - with a growing number of young English players moving to top European leagues to earn chances to develop and prove themselves.
