Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea are reportedly making moves for the summer window, with sources confirming the club has made contact with Bayern Munich over 21-year-old midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic.
The Blues are said to be preparing a €65m bid, although Bayern are unenthusiastic about selling the academy graduate.
The interest comes as Chelsea prepare for a high-profile FA Cup clash against Wrexham on Saturday.
Rosenior has been hailed for his “tactical gamble” in recent weeks, including a new mid-game huddle that reportedly infuriated Aston Villa during Chelsea’s 4-1 win.
Striker Joao Pedro remains the man of the hour, having scored 10 goals in 12 games under the new manager.
