Christopher Nkunku will leave Chelsea this summer, talkSPORT understands.
Nkunku would welcome a move back to Germany to Bayern Munich and is also open to staying in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur have also enquired ahead of a potential shock move to keep him in London.
Bayern made an initial approach for Nkunku in January and the Frenchman was understood to be keen on a move.
However, the German side was put off by Chelsea demanding north of £50million for the winger.
Nkunku is believed to be open to joining the Bundesliga champions but is equally receptive to remaining in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old finished the 24/25 campaign with 14 goals and five assists from 42 appearances across all competitions.
However, only three of those goals came in the Premier League.
Nkunku also started only nine of the 33 league matches he was involved in.
He was an unused substitute in the Conference League final as Chelsea thrashed Real Betis 4-1.
When Blues boss Enzo Maresca hauled off Cole Palmer in the 88th minute, he opted to bring on Spanish teenager Marc Guiu instead of Nkunku.
Nkunku arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023 from RB Leipzig in a £53m deal.

However, he had to wait until December 19 to make his Chelsea debut after he picked up a knee injury during a pre-season fixture against Borussia Dortmund.
Nkunku subsequently underwent surgery which left him sidelined for ‘an extended period of time’.
He ultimately featured just 14 times in total during the 2023/24 campaign and scored just three goals.
Speaking last November, Maresca insisted he ‘absolutely’ wanted to keep Nkunku going into the January window.
However, the Italian acknowledged the forward would struggle to break into his starting team.
Nkunku was largely restricted to appearances in the Conference LeagueGetty“We know that Christo’s best position is between the line as a 10,” Maresca said at the time.
“Cole [Palmer] is playing there. We will not play many games with Cole and Christo, or Cole and Joao [Felix].
“They are all fantastic players and will play, but not every game.
“The same issue we mention many times with Joao.
“If you play with Cole, Joao, Christo, Noni – who is defending?
“Their skills is not defending, it is to attack. We love them, we want them but we need balance.”
