Chelsea have rejected Bayern Munich’slatest bid for their number one summer target, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Sky Sports News understands.
The offer - believed to be £22.5m - is Bayern’s fourth attempt to land the 18-year old winger and comes after Sky Sports News learnt that the England forward is no closer to signing a long-term deal to stay at Stamford Bridge with both sides some distance from finding agreement.
The youngster, who joined Chelsea’s academy in 2007 aged seven, is out of contract in 12 months and can sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside the UK in January.
Hudson-Odoi took to Instagram earlier this week to update fans on his rehabilitation progress, with hopes that he will be fully fit at the beginning of September.
He remains Bayern’s number one summer target, as they look to replace Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben following their departure from the Allianz Arena.
Despite the stalemate, it’s unlikely Chelsea would be willing to let one of their prized young assets leave Stamford Bridge without a fight, as they come to terms with a two-window transfer ban, plus the departure of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.
