Bayern Munich appear to have abandoned their pursuit of Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi in this transfer window.
The 18-year-old is out of contract in June 2020 and has been linked with a £35million move to the German champions.
Chelsea on Monday reportedly turned down a transfer request from Hudson-Odoi, with head coach Maurizio Sarri reiterating to the club’s stance on Tuesday.
Sarri said: “On the pitch he’s doing very well. I’m really very happy with him. I’m not very happy with the situation, but I know very well that every big team here in England has the same problem.
“It’s not easy to keep these young players. He is of course one of the best 18-year-old players in Europe, so it’s very, very difficult. The club told me he’s out of the market for sure and probably he will be out of the market in July.”
And, speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Bayern coach Niko Kovac seemingly ruled out a move this window for Hudson-Odoi by saying there was “nothing more happening” on the transfers front.
Hudson-Odoi scored his second Chelsea goal on his sixth start of the season in Sunday’s FA Cup fourth-round win over Sheffield Wednesday.
He is yet to start in the Premier League and has made just three substitute appearances in the top flight, the first coming on Boxing Day at Watford.
