Bayern Munich Seek to Edge Liverpool, PSG in Chelsea Wonderkid Chase | OneFootball

Achraf Hakimi is extending his stay at Paris Saint-Germain, but the club is grappling with limited depth behind him. This shortage adds pressure to secure a capable backup, especially to mitigate the risks of a serious injury.

Meanwhile, The Independent reports that Chelsea’s Josh Acheampong has attracted attention from several top European clubs. Real Madrid is eyeing a January move for the 18-year-old, viewing him as a short-term solution at right-back and a long-term asset for their defense.

Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Tottenham are also monitoring Acheampong, while PSG and Borussia Dortmund are closely following his development.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea has given the young defender an ultimatum: He won’t play for the first team or the development squad unless he agrees to a new contract.

Is Bayern Munich preparing to lead in the race?

The Chelsea Chronicle reports that Bayern Munich are eyeing a move to sign Chelsea’s Acheampong. This season, the teenager has made four appearances for the first team across all competitions.

Earlier this month, Football Insider reported that the young right-back hesitates to sign a new contract because he doesn’t see a clear path to the first team, especially with Reece James and Malo Gusto ahead of him in the depth chart.
