Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has spoken about Bayern’s pursuit of Chelsea youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The Bundesliga club made a second attempt to sign the 19-year-old over the summer, but once again fell short in their pursuit of the Englishman.

Hudson-Odoi was pursued by the Champions League winners back in 2018, only for Chelsea to convince the player to stay, while efforts to take him on loan for the 2020/21 season with an option to buy also fell short.

Speaking to Sport Bild (via Metro), said: “There are transfers that come to the point where you have to say: ‘We have to leave this immediately’,” Salihamidzic said.

“It is all the more important that one thinks about alternatives or alternative paths right from the start.

“We negotiated with Chelsea but there was no agreement. That happens.”
