Chelsea appear to have been dealt a blow in their efforts to offload Trevoh Chalobah.
If the Blues want to add to their squad in January, they will likely have to offload players to balance the books – and Chalobah is one name who has been linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old centre-back has not featured this season as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury.
And that injury could prove problematic for Chelsea, with potential buyers seemingly deterred from pursuing a deal for Chalobah.
According to the Mirror, Tottenham and Bayern Munich were both keeping tabs on the Blues academy product but have since 'cooled their interest'.

However, the report adds that AC Milan, Inter Milan and RB Leipzig all remain interested in Chalobah.
Transfermarkt currently values the former England U21 international – who previously played on the continent on loan with Lorient of Ligue 1 – at €18m (£15.6m).
After rising through Chelsea's youth ranks, Chalobah – whose older brother Nathaniel followed the same path – made his first-team debut in the Blues' 2021 UEFA Super Cup victory over Villarreal.
He has gone on to feature 63 times for the two-time European champions, with 45 of his appearances coming in the Premier League.
Chalobah was part of the England squad which won the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
