Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to reject Chelsea’s bumper offer of \u00a385,000-a-week and hold out for a move to Bayern Munich, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old, who has made 13 first-team appearances but is yet to start a Premier League game, has been the subject of a \u00a335m bid by the Bundesliga giants.<\/p>\n
Chelsea were hopeful their latest offer would result in the winger changing his mind, but Hudson-Odoi and his representatives have indicated that money would not be the defining factor in whether he pledged his long-term future to the club or not.<\/p>\n
Bayern have made clear their admiration for the winger, with sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic revealing the\u00a0German club “really want to sign him”.<\/p>\n
The Mail on Sunday\u00a0claim that such is Bayern’s belief in the youngster they would give the No 10 shirt to Hudson-Odoi when Arjen Robben’s decade-long association with the club ends in May.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have made it clear they want to keep of hold the teenager, but Hudson-Odoi very much remains a squad player under Maurizio Sarri.<\/p>\n
Hudson Odoi’s current deal runs out in 2020, thus his value will drop dramatically on February 1 when he would only be worth around \u00a310m – with just one year left on his contract.<\/p>\n
If the Blues refuse to let him move on in this January window, it is expected Hudson-Odoi is content on waiting until the summer and clinching a move to the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n
In other news, Chelsea are set to complete the loan signing of Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus in the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n
It is understood the Blues are hopeful that they can get a deal over the line before Wednesday, in order for him to be registered for\u00a0Thursday\u2019s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg decider against Tottenham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
