European clubs are finalizing last-minute transfer moves as the window closes. Bayern Munich is considering a loan for Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong with an option to buy, while Chelsea remain reluctant to sell. Acheampong, 19, is under contract until June 2029 and broke into Chelsea's first team last winter under Enzo Maresca, contributing to the Europa Conference League campaign. He started the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace but was replaced by Malo Gusto in subsequent matches. Bayern could provide squad depth amid injuries, though immediate playing time may not increase compared with his current role at Chelsea.

He also started Chelsea's Premier League season opener against Crystal Palace this season. In the subsequent two matches against West Ham United and then Fulham, Malo Gusto replaced Acheampong in the starting lineup and the youngster was an unused sub on the bench.
