Hudson-Odoi in extra time for Chelsea

FC Bayern looks into the tubes at Callum Hudson-Odoi. The English international is about to renew his contract with Chelsea.

English international Callum Hudson-Odoi will extend his contract with Europa League winner FC Chelsea ahead of time at greatly improved conditions, according to information from Goal’s ‎SOCCERSCORE. FC Bayern Munich’s hopes of a transfer of the talented attacker are thus dashed.

Hudson-Odoi is currently tied to Chelsea until 2020. In January, FC Bayern publicly promoted the 18-year-old, who also asked for his release at Stamford Bridge in this process. However, a transfer did not take place.

Now the Blues officials have convinced their own growth, which was used much more frequently in the second half of the season, to stay in London and Hudson-Odoi will sign a new five-year contract. This is also associated with a substantial salary increase: He will earn the equivalent of around 5.9 million euros per year in the future.

In addition to the economic factor, other points have convinced Hudson-Odoi to stay: coach Maurizio Sarri, who used him sparingly at the start of the season, is likely to leave the club this summer. In addition, the departure of superstar Eden Hazard is also imminent. Thus the teenager has a high-carat competitor in the CFC offensive less.
