**Bayern Munich have reportedly shown fresh interest in Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia just days after the Belgian reached a major fitness milestone under Xabi Alonso.**
Lavia has endured an injury-hit spell since completing his £58million move from Southampton in 2023, but his situation has finally started to improve during pre-season.
The 22-year-old completed the full 90 minutes against AC Milan last weekend before speaking positively about his early work with Alonso.
Now, a new transfer possibility has emerged.
**[Si Phillips Talks Chelsea reports](https://sptc.news/p/sources-bayern-munich-showing-new)** that Bayern have genuine interest in Lavia during the remaining weeks of the summer window.
Bayern’s interest comes at an intriguing time for Chelsea.
Lavia has only just produced one of the most encouraging performances of his Stamford Bridge career, completing a full match for the first time following years of fitness problems.
ReadChelsea reported on Monday **[what Lavia said about Xabi Alonso after reaching that Chelsea milestone](https://readchelsea.com/2026/08/10/what-romeo-lavia-just-said-about-xabi-alonso-after-chelsea-milestone/)**, with the midfielder describing his positive experience under the new head coach.
Any Bayern approach would therefore leave Chelsea with a significant decision.
Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez remain major midfield options, while Alonso also has Dario Essugo and Valentin Barco available in central areas.
Lavia, though, potentially offers something Chelsea have rarely been able to utilise since his arrival: a fully fit defensive midfielder comfortable receiving possession under pressure and progressing the ball from deep.
There is no suggestion at this stage that an agreement between Chelsea and Bayern is close.
For now, the report represents **fresh interest rather than advanced negotiations**, but Lavia’s future is one to watch as Chelsea continue reshaping Alonso’s squad before the transfer window closes.
