The Argentine has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in recent months, and it is claimed that the Bundesliga giants are now monitoring his situation.
Fernandez became the most expensive player in Premier League history when he joined the Blues from Portuguese side Benfica in 2023, althoughthat fee of around £106 million has since been eclipsed on numerous occasions.
Since arriving in London, the central midfielder has scored 31 goals and provided 30 assists in 169 games for the club, establishing himself as a key player for the club.
Despite his importance to Chelsea, Fernandez has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and it is now claimed that Bayern are showing interest in the player.
Fernandez has six years remaining on his current contract at Chelsea, but it appears increasingly likely that he may depart the club before the end of the current transfer window.
