Chelsea and Bayern Munich are in negotiations over defender Trevoh Chalobah with a loan deal now on the table.

The Blues had initially wanted a permanent transfer but are now open to letting him leave on loan with no option to buy, according to

Chalobah and Bayern on loan deal with NO option, being discussed overnight as revealed 🚨🔴⤵️ #DeadlineDay https://t.co/uOPTrQqHd4

Romano tweeted: 'Trevoh Chalobah deal, not off at all as Bayern are still negotiating with Chelsea. New proposal sent to make deal happen on straight loan.' He later added there was 'no option'.

Bayern have already dipped into the Premier League this season after forking out £100m for Harry Kane and are now hoping to return to London for Chalobah.

Manager Thomas Tuchel is a keen admirer of the Blues centre-back after working with him previously and handing the defender his debut at Stamford Bridge two years ago.

Chelsea were more keen to sell players before the transfer window closes on Friday as Mauricio Pochettino looks to bring in more attacking reinforcements.

Chalobah's dynamism means he can fill a number of defensive gaps for Bayern throughout the season as they compete to retain the Bundesliga and challenge in the Champions League.

He wants the move to happen and Chelsea are now more willing to accept a short term exit.

Benjamin Pavard's expected exit could see Chalobah brought in as a full-back, while he can also play at the heart of defence and in midfield if required.

Progressing all the way through Chelsea's youth system before going on to become a fixture in the club's senior set-up means the club would have gained 100 per cent profit on any permanent deal.

Chalobah has failed to make any of Chelsea's matchday squads across their three opening Premier League matches while he recovers from a hamstring injury that was aggravated in training.

However, once fit it is hard to see him forcing his way into Pochettino's plans with several players now appearing to be ahead of him in the Argentinian's pecking order.

Chelsea have splurged on new arrivals and Chalobah's best chance of getting consistent minutes may be to find a new club before the transfer window slams shut.
