Bayern Munich reignite interest in Callum Hudson-Odoi

Bayern Munich have reignited their interest in Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to reports. The 19-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga club during the 2018-19 season but ended up signing a five-year contract extension with the Blues in September last year.

The report further adds that Juventus and RB Leipzig are also monitoring the situation of the Chelsea star.

Brazilian midfielder open to Chelsea return

Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar has opened the doors for a potential return to Stamford Bridge. The 29-year-old is currently plying his trade for Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai SIPG, where his contract is set to expire in November of 2024.

Oscar had recently revealed that he was urged by Willian and David Luiz to join them at Arsenal. However, he revealed that his first-choice club for a return to Europe would only be Chelsea.

Speaking in a recent interview, Oscar said:

"I hope to fulfill my contract here calmly and then think about going back to Europe. The first club I’d choose is Chelsea for sure, which is the club I built a very beautiful history with."

"When I was a child I watched the Italian league a lot because there were many Brazilians there.

"There are teams I like a lot like Inter and AC Milan, so I’d think about going to the Italian league."
