Rennes are said to be holding out for a fee of around £60 million, however, and Chelsea are yet to reach a breakthrough in negotiations.
According to journalist Christian Falk, Chelsea have now turned to Kim, 29, and have reached out to the player’s representatives to voice their interest.
Kim hasn’t been a regular for Bayern this season, starting just eight Bundesliga games, and could be tempted to leave for more regular action.
