Bayern Munich is monitoring Chris Rigg after he turned down their lucrative offers last summer. Rigg, a 17-year-old who has established himself as a first-team regular at Sunderland, decided to remain with the club due to his strong connection with them, despite interest from top clubs such as Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Inter Milan. However, Sunderland is preparing for a crucial Championship play-off final against Sheffield United, and the result could impact Rigg's future. If Sunderland fails to secure promotion to the Premier League, it might trigger a transfer exodus, increasing the chances of Rigg reconsidering offers from Bayern and other top clubs that are prepared to value him at £25 million. West Ham has also positioned themselves as strong contenders in the race for Rigg's signature.
