Bayern Munich step up plans to sign Chelsea player
Reports claim that Bayern have now stepped up their interest in Andreas Christensen who they see as a replacement for Niklas Süle, who will be leaving the Allianz Arena at the end of the season.
Christensen will be a free agent in the summer but Chelsea are hoping to get him to sign a contract extension. He has not had much football under his belt this season due to COVID-19 and niggling injuries. Thomas Tuchel also found a solution in his absence and as such, the Dane is now a fringe player at the club.
Tuchel admitted that Christensen’s lack of game-time is partly the cause of the defender stalling on contract negotiations with the club.
The 25-year-old is demanding €10 million which neither Chelsea nor Bayern are prepared to offer according to Sky Germany.
