Bayern Munich are reportedly struggling to match Andreas Christensen’s wage demands with the Dane holding out for a big hike ahead of his imminent exit from Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel’s repeated attempts to tie down Christensen to renew his terms beyond the summer have failed with the latter looking for a new challenge elsewhere rather than staying put in the English capital.
Meanwhile, Bayern have been forced to scout the transfer market for reinforcements in defence with Niklas Süle mulling over the decision to leave the club in the summer following the expiry of his contract.
Christensen’s contract situation has made him one of the top names on the shopping list for Bayern but the Bavarian giants face a hard task convincing the Chelsea contract rebel on the wage front, according to claims from Sky Sports Germany.
Chelsea have tabled a €7.5 million offer for the Denmark international to consider but Christensen wants €10 million as the long drawn out standoff could very spell out the central defender calling it quits at Stamford Bridge come the end of the season.
