Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana was recently offered to Bayern Munich, according to German outlet Sport1.

Bayern head coach Thomas Tuchel is clearly a fan of the player, having signed him for the Blues last summer.

The Frenchman joined the west London club in a £75 million from Leicester City.

Fofana was brought in to be a long-term option in the centre-back position, but struggled in his debut season.

The 22-year-old started just 12 games as the Blues finished 12th in the Premier League table.

Having said that, this summer would be far too soon to let go of one of the most promising defenders in Europe.

Even after a difficult 12 months, the west London club would surely want to give him at least another season to prove himself.

Hence, it would take an exceptional fee to prize him away from Stamford Bridge, something that Bayern simply can't afford.

Kim Min-jae to Bayern

Bayern have been in the market for a centre-back since it was decided that Lucas Hernandez would be leaving.

Fofana was reportedly one of the names linked with a move to the Allianz Arena, but Munich have opted to sign Kim Min-jae from Napoli.

The South Korea international, who was also a target of Manchester United, has agreed to a five-year deal with the Bundesliga champions.
