Bayern approach Chelsea for defender but Blues don’t want loan deal

Bayern Munich have made contact with Chelsea over defender Trevoh Chalobah and talks will begin to see if a deal can be reached. 

Benjamin Pavard is likely to leave the German champions soon with Inter Milan pushing to get a deal over the line. Should the Frenchman leave, the Bundesliga giants will need a replacement and they have identified Chelsea’s Chalobah as a possibility.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have already rejected a loan proposal for the 24-year-old as they insist on a permanent transfer if they are to part ways with the defender. Talks will continue in order to make a final decision over the centre-back’s future soon.

Chalobah has yet to make an appearance for Chelsea this season as the centre-back is down Mauricio Pochettino’s pecking order. The West London club have a good collection of central defenders at Stamford Bridge so it will be hard for the 24-year-old to break into the starting 11.

The defender has been at Chelsea his whole career, so will this summer see him make a first permanent switch away from Stamford Bridge?
