LONDON -- Callum Hudson-Odoi should show respect to Chelsea's academy by being more patient with his development at Stamford Bridge, according to Maurizio Sarri.
Chelsea rejected an official transfer request submitted by Hudson-Odoi on Monday, informing the 18-year-old that he will not be allowed to move to Bayern Munich for £35 million in the January window.
Sources told ESPN FC that Hudson-Odoi has no intention of extending his current Chelsea contract -- which expires in June 2020 -- and sees his long-term future at Bayern, but Sarri believes the winger should respect those at Cobham who helped him get to this point.
"Callum is 18," Sarri said. "He has to respect the club, the academy, everything. He has time. If you are one of the best young players in Europe, maybe the academy helped you. So you have to respect this.
"Of course, he's a very great player. He will become one of the best in Europe also in another team, but he has to respect the work of the academy coaches, I think."
Chelsea now appear set for a summer of uncertainty around two of their wingers, with Hudson-Odoi courted by Bayern and superstar Eden Hazard weighing up the possibility of leaving to join Real Madrid.
"The situation of Eden is different," Sarri insisted. "Eden is 28. If he wants to go, I think he has to go. Of course, I hope the opposite. I hope he wants to stay here with us and improve. He has the potential to be the best player in Europe a the moment.
"Sometimes he's happy with something less. It's my job to improve him and put him in a position to do his best. Sometimes I have to say something in the pressroom on that. It's normal. It's my job. But I was really very happy with the last performance [against Tottenham]."
Bayern are expected to revive their interest in signing Hudson-Odoi in the summer, when he will enter the final year of his current contract. Sarri, however, is adamant that the 18-year-old is in a better position to fulfil his potential if he remains at Stamford Bridge.
"Because here, I think, it's his home," Sarri said. "We will be patient with him because he's a boy from the academy. I don't know if, at another club, people would be patient with him after five or six matches. It's very difficult to go to another country and adapt immediately or play very well immediately.
"That's a difficult situation. It's better for him to try and improve here. But that's my opinion. I may not be right."
