Trevoh Chalobah has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent weeks, and Bayern Munich have shown interest.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich have ruled out the possibility of signing Trevoh Chalobah this month. The 24-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, and he needs to leave Chelsea to play regular first-team football.
Trevoh Chalobah and an Uncertain Future
Bayern Munich were initially keen on signing Trevoh Chalobah this month. But after a new round of talks, they have decided not to sign the player in the January transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the German champions decide to move on to other targets now.
Chalobah would have been a quality acquisition for them. He is versatile enough to operate as a right-back as well as a central defender. But they have shown interest in other versatile defenders, including Eric Dier.
The defender has shown his quality in the Premier League during his cameos with Chelsea, and he will hope to join a club where he can play regularly. He cannot afford to sit on the bench at Chelsea at this stage of his career.
What Next?
It remains to be seen whether the Blues are prepared to give him opportunities during the second half of the campaign if a move does not materialise this month. The 24-year-old could improve most teams in the Premier League, and signing him on a loan deal could prove to be a wise decision.
It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward with an offer for him over the next few weeks. He was highly rated at Stamford Bridge when he exploded on to the first team seen. However, things have not worked out for him at Chelsea since then. It is clear that he needs a move away from the London club and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Trevoh Chalobah is still only 24 and is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a reliable premier league defender in the coming season, and whoever manages to sign him for a nominal price this month would have a quality future prospect of their hands.
