Liverpool will reopen Callum Hudson-Odoi transfer

Liverpool is engaged in the Callum Hudson-Odoi signing race, joining Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in a three-fight against the winger.

According to Bild, the Reds keep a close eye on the 18-year-old, still blurring the future of the British prospect after the Blues refused to allow him to speak at Bayern in January.

The Bundesliga champions were denied £ 35 million during the winter transfer period. Chelsea made it clear that they were not ready to let the academy graduate leave as early in its development.

Hudson-Odoi has not played in a Premier League game for Chelsea this season. He has only played in the FA Cup and Europa League matches, where he has been impressed by many goals and aids.

He did not hide his desire to host Bayern during their big offer in January, especially given the reluctance of his manager, Maurizio Sarri, to trust the young player for his campaign's team.

Chelsea are sixth in the Premier League and are involved in a three-way race with Arsenal and Manchester United to clinch the last spot in the Champions League for next season.

The Blues are particularly reluctant to allow their young star to leave, following the resurgence of rumors linking Eden Hazard to a move to Real Madrid.

Real Real's new boss, Zinedine Zidane, is a well-known admirer of the Belgian and could tempt Chelsea by trying to offer his star in the summer.

Hudson-Odoi wants to follow in the footsteps of fellow countryman Jadon Sancho.

Sancho left Manchester City to join Dortmund in 2017, and had an impressive impact on the Bundesliga. His team competed with Bayern to win the Bundesliga title.

The young arsenal Reiss Nelson has also made a strong impression in Germany this season by playing 18 Bundesliga matches for Hoffenheim with a loan for the Gunners' season.
