Chelsea make shock £75m Bayern Munich transfer 'offer' as Thomas Tuchel makes important decision

Chelsea have offered Bayern Munich the chance to sign Wesley Fofana in the summer transfer window, according to a new report. The French defender only signed for the Blues 12 months ago and despite enduring a season of difficulty due to numerous injuries, he is set to be a key part of Mauricio Pochettino's first-team plans.

The Argentine's first day officially working as the new Chelsea boss was on Monday, July 4 as he met both football and non-football members of staff which resulted in him hosting a barbecue. Full training is expected to start today (Tuesday) with senior stars who did not play for their national teams set to return.

After making his senior debut for France in June, one of the players not due back until the weekend at least is Fofana. However had things gone slightly differently that may not have been the case at all. According to Sport1 reporter Kerry Hau, Fofana was 'offered' to Bayern Munich, however the chance to sign him was turned down by the German champions.
