Bayern Munich is in contact with Chelsea to sign defender Trevoh Chalobah, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sports. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel has been in direct contact with Chalobah, who reportedly wants to leave London for Munich. The main point of contention is whether it will be a loan or permanent deal, with Bayern preferring a loan move and Chelsea wanting to sell permanently. Chalobah, who can play in both center-back roles and right-back in emergencies, could be a replacement for Benjamin Pavard, with Bayern in discussions with Inter Milan to sell the French defender. Comparing Chalobah to Pavard over the last two seasons, Chalobah appears to be less prone to individual mistakes, losing possession fewer times. Pavard had more ground duels and aerial duels won, but this can be attributed to receiving more playing time. Chalobah is three years younger than Pavard and has a higher ceiling for development. While Chalobah would be a good squad player option for Bayern, he may not significantly improve the team.
