Chelsea academy graduate Josh Acheampong is contemplating a new challenge away from the club after recent transfer activity.
The young centre-back was previously linked with Bayern Munich earlier this month, though the club indicated he was not for sale.
Nevertheless, circumstances have shifted. Chelsea have agreed to sign a new right-back, Atalanta’s Marco Palestra.
Chelsea have entered negotiations with Crystal Palace regarding centre-back Maxence Lacroix, who could join imminently.
Acheampong, primarily a central defender, is also capable of playing as a right-back.
With the arrival of two new signings, he is seriously contemplating an exit.
Chelsea continue to hold a not-for-sale stance, yet the youngster intends to push for a departure by submitting a transfer request.
Should the situation arise, Chelsea could demand at least £50 million for his release. In addition to Bayern Munich, Liverpool are reported to be closely monitoring his situation in west London.
