The teenager had been keen to secure a move to the Bundesliga champions but an increase in game time and new contract proposal may change his mind
Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to make a decision on his future in the coming days, with Chelsea growing increasingly confident he will commit his future to the Stamford Bridge outfit.
With Bayern Munich offering £35 million ($45.3m) to take the teenager to the Allianz Arena and with first-team opportunities hard to come by, Hudson-Odoi had been pushing for a move to the Bundesliga champions.
But Goal now understands that after a run of games in the first team in early 2019 and talk of contract in west London that would be a better illustration of his true value, he is considering remaining with his boyhood club.
The Blues are willing to offer Hudson-Odoi a deal worth £70,000-a-week to tempt him to stay in west London despite him only having made 13 senior appearances.
Bayern now face a fight themselves to convince a player who, despite not handing in an official transfer request, saw his next move as joining them and following in the footsteps of fellow Under-17 World Cup winner Jadon Sancho in swapping the Premier League for the German top-flight.
The Bavarians have even offered the 18-year-old the No.10 shirt that Arjen Robben will vacate at the end of the season, and with Franck Ribery also set to depart Bayern, Hudson-Odoi was promised a prominent role in Niko Kovac's rebuilding job in Munich.
Hudson-Odoi's decision - which is expected in the next week - comes off the back of Maurizio Sarri showing more faith in him in recent weeks.]
Ahead of Bayern's first bid for the wideman in late December he had played just 215 minutes under the former Napoli boss despite an encouraging pre-season that ended with him being offered a new five-year contract.
That lack of game time saw him turn down the offer of committing his future to the club, but since Bayern's interest he has become more of a regular under Sarri.
He has already doubled his game time for the season in the last month, with two league appearances and a start in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Tottenham under his belt.
He featured off the bench in Saturday's win over Newcastle, with the Stamford Bridge faithful greeting him with a rendition of 'Hudson-Odoi, we want you to stay'.
As a player who joined the club at the age of eight, such a show of faith from supporters could yet play a part in him deciding against a departure to the continent and remaining at Chelsea.

From all said and done, is the manager ready to use him? Odoi, if you're guaranteed, please don't leave. Stay with Chelsea. They are trying all possible best to satisfy you from age of 8. They will not relent. We fans love you.

Oh he can still become a new hazardous ‘Hazard ‘ of Chelsea if he stays put. Advantages of staying are:not moving houses,not feeling lonely on a foreign country,not losing friends,your parents would be with him every day and he will be playing in front of the fans he has known from being as eight year old boy and the team mates that love him as much he loves them. Above all he will be earning more money now than he would have had had he crossed over and still his main concern for more minutes of playing in the field has been addressed openly by the manager who rates him as equal to the other wingers in the club. In my opinion he would have been very unwise to go to Bayern with all that the club has done to make him happy. Thank you.

An African ditching Chelsea for a club like Bayern is not a very smart decision. His father and his brother are who are managing him would advise him better

Hudson-Odoi should forget about joining Bayern and stick with his parents club. He has a very bright future ahead of him, if he stays he may likely become the next Eden Hazard that'll carry Chelsea on his shoulders.

If he decides to stay, then it is the best thing that happened in the January transfer window at chelsea and not even higuain's transfer
