Bayern
Munich have rejected a bid from Chelsea for defender Rafinha, according to
Sky sources.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is in the market for a right-sided player after
missing out on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who opted to join Liverpool from
Arsenal.
Conte wants to provide for competition for Victor Moses on the right side of
his team, and was keen to sign the 31-year-old right-back, who has played
204 times for Bayern.
Despite only playing a bit-part role behind Joshua Kimmich this season,
Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti has opted to reject Conte's bid and keep the
Brazil defender at the Allianz Arena.
The Blues have already missed out on a number of top names this summer with
Romelu Lukaku, Danilo and Oxlade-Chamberlain all rejecting moves to Stamford
Bridge.
