BAYERN MUNICH have reportedly made contact with Chelsea over a move for Levi Colwill.
Colwill, 21, was a squad player at Stamford Bridge last season as he made 23 appearances in the Premier League.
Chelsea are keen to keep a hold of the now-capped defender who has shown plenty of promise over the last two seasons.
Sky Germany has claimed that Bayern Munich, however, are keen on the Englishman.
The report states that new manager Vincent Kompany is a fan of the left-footed defender.

The Bundesliga giants were expected to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, but an agreement has yet to be reached.
The two German sides are said to be "far apart" on the terms of the transfer fee.
Signing Tah is claimed to be the "priority" for Bayern but Colwill is suggested to be an alternative option.
This has led to Bayern making contact with the Blues over a potential deal for Colwill.
Chelsea would boost their financial position by cashing in on Colwill as he came through the club's youth academy.

His potential sale would represent pure profit for the club which could ease any FFP concerns.
Colwill first showed his top-flight credentials during a loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion during the 2022/23 season.
Colwill made 22 appearances for the Seagulls as he helped them to qualify for the Europa League.
Since returning to Chelsea, he has been a regular in the first-team and has often filled in at left-back.
