Chelsea are keen to keep the now international defender, who has shown great promise over the last two seasons.
Sky Germany stated that Bayern Munich, however, is interested in the Englishman.
The report states that new coach Vincent Kompany is a fan of the left-footed defender.
The Bundesliga giants were expected to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen but a deal has yet to be reached.
The two German sides would be “far apart” in terms of the transfer fee.
Signing Tah is considered Bayern’s “priority”, but Colwill is suggested as an alternative option.
This led to Bayern contacting the Blues over a possible deal for Colwill.
Chelsea would increase their financial position by cashing in on Colwill when he came through the club’s youth academy.

His potential sale would represent pure profit for the club, which could alleviate any FFP concerns.
Colwill first showed his top-flight credentials during a loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion during the 2022/23 season.
Why Leicester fans WON’T miss Maresca
It’s fair to say that the majority of Leicester fans weren’t exactly begging for Maresca to stay, writes Graeme Bryce
OK, they weren’t queuing and offering to take you to Stamford Bridge.
But there won’t be many tears shed or many lamentations against King Power either.
The fans’ attitude to losing their incredibly successful boss could be summed up in one word: ‘Meh’.
Maresca failed to win over the paying public, who never liked his patient, possession-based style of football.
Having been raised – some would say spoiled – by the 2016 title-winning swashbucklers, with Jamie Vardy leading coach Claudio Ranieri’s shock champions, Maresca never took off at the King Power.
So it will be interesting to see what Chelsea’s notoriously impatient fans think of Maresca’s ‘death by a thousand cuts’ style of play.
It wasn’t long before some of Leicester’s old school fans started complaining that Maresca’s patient, style of play was becoming too boring to watch.
During the 3-1 victory over Swansea, which left them ten points clear at the top, there were groans and groans coming from the stands amid chants of ‘Take the ball forward’.
Fans accused him of stubbornly following his Plan A – even when it wasn’t working – and claimed he was too slow to make substitutions.
But one thing Blues fans can look forward to is his human management and attention to detail.
And the Foxes players loved their coach too.
Colwill made 22 appearances for the Seagulls, helping them qualify for the Europa League.
Since returning to Chelsea, he has been a regular in the first team and has often played at left-back.
In August 2023, Colwill signed a new six-year contract at Stamford Bridge with the option of a further year.
