Trevoh Chalobah has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer, with Bayern Munich keen on signing him.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich are hoping to sign Trevoh Chalobah this summer. But the Bundesliga champions have now had a loan approach for the 24-year-old rejected by Chelsea.
Meanwhile, a report from Evening Standard adds that Chelsea would consider selling the player for a fee of around £50 million. Chalobah has been a useful squad player for Chelsea in recent seasons, and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Bayern Munich defence as well.
The manager of the Bundesliga club, Thomas Tuchel, worked with Chalobah during their time together at Stamford Bridge. So he will know all about the 24-year-old defender. The Chelsea man is versatile enough to operate as a full-back as well as a central defender.
He could be a useful squad player for Bayern Munich in the coming seasons. In addition to that, he is only 24 and is likely to get better with coaching and experience. The opportunity to join a big club like Bayern Munich could be an attractive proposition for the young defender, especially if they are willing to give him ample game time.

The 24-year-old has struggled for regular football at Stamford Bridge, and he might not be a key starter for Mauricio Pochettino this season. The Blues will probably have to offer him game-time assurances if they want to keep him.
It seems that signing the defender on loan is out of question now, and Chelsea will only consider a permanent transfer. The reported £50 million asking price seems like a premium, and Bayern Munich might not be able to afford that, especially after sealing a big money move for Harry Kane earlier this summer.
Bayern Munich looked vulnerable defensively last season and could certainly use a quality defender. Someone like Chalobah could settle in quickly and make an immediate impact. He is used to playing under Tuchel and could hit the ground running in the Bundesliga. It will be interesting to see if Tuchel can convince the Bayern hierarchy to spend £50 million on the Chelsea defender this summer.
