Callum Hudson-Odoi will not sign new contact despite breaking into Chelsea team – ESPN sources

Chelsea fans are locked in paralysis right now, watching one of their brightest young talents move towards the exit.

Bayern Munich are circling, making ever increasing bids for Callum Hudson-Odoi, and there’s not much we can do about it. We’ve offered him huge new deals, but his mind is made up.

It looked like playing him might change his mind, but after two starts it seems nothing has changed.

Now, ESPN are the latest site claiming to have an exclusive on the matter:

They say that “a source” has told them that Callum isn’t going to sign, but also interestingly that Chelsea still haven’t responded to the last offer of £35m.

At this stage, given he’s put in another great showing since that bid, we could probably squeeze another £5m out of them.

But would it really matter? Whether we get £35m or £135m, Chelsea fans will be bitterly disappointed with the result if we lose Callum.

It’s not a done deal yet, but it very much looks like it’s heading that way.
