Interest in defender: Chelsea react harshly to Bayern inquiry

FC Bayern are set to make a number of changes to their squad this summer. New signings could be made in the defensive area, both in the center and at the back. FC Bayern have already enquired about one player

It is clear that there will only be a new central defender if a player leaves the club. Hiroki Ito and Minjae Kim are the candidates who could leave in the summer

Neither is keen to leave, but Bayern would consider an offer. There have been recent rumours about various players, including John Stones and Yann Bisseck, but Bayern are now said to have made enquiries about another player

Bayern reject Chelsea bid

The player in question is Josh Acheampong, who is currently under contract at Chelsea FC. FC Bayern had already been interested in the defender, but now, according to TEAMtalk, a new inquiry has been made

In addition to Bayern, BVB, Milan, Manchester City and Liverpool have also reportedly enquired about the defensive player, who can play both inside and out, but Chelsea are unwilling to let the youngster go

Acheampong has developed into one of the most sought-after young defenders in Europe following his excellent development at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea have made it clear that he is not available for a transfer. New coach Xabi Alonso wants to rely on the young defender

Acheampong could be the perfect player for Xabi’s system, especially as the Spanish coach often plays with a back three. The Blues have not only categorically rejected Bayern’s request, but have also made this clear to all other interested parties

The young Englishman is still tied to Chelsea FC until 2029, and a move only seems realistic in the future if the player does not get enough playing time.
