Niko Kovac rules out Callum Hudson-Odoi’s move to Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich appear to have ruled out signing Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi this transfer window.
Hudson-Odoi handed in a transfer request – which Chelsea rejected – to force through a move to the German champions after they failed with four bids for the 18-year-old – the latest worth £35m.
Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed the club’s interest in Hudson-Odoi earlier in the month.
But, speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Bayern coach Niko Kovac said there was “nothing more happening” on the transfers front.
Kovac said: “”That other clubs don’t want their good players to leave is for sure.
“We have a big squad now, almost all of the players are fit again. Franck and Arjen have been training, so I have to leave one, two at home anyway. That’s why it does not make sense for us to get three or four more players.
“We’ve got a great team, great players and we will use those players until the end of the season.”
