Chelsea are yet to make a bid for Havertz
According to the Telegraph, Chelsea inching closer towards ensuring a top-four finish will play a key role in their efforts to sign Kai Havertz.
The 21-year-old is valued at a mammoth £90m. The Blues, however, are unwilling to pay beyond £70m.
Our finances will be boosted by a further £50m if we qualify for the Champions League. This added financial boost will ease Marina Granovskaia’s problems to bring the player to the Bridge.
Chelsea have already wrapped up deals for Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Adding Havertz to the duo will further amplify a promising Blues attack.
With both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich opting against making a move, Chelsea have a clear road ahead in their pursuit of the player.
According to the report, Havertz is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge, to link up with international teammates Timo Werner and Antonio Rudiger.
The 21-year-old is one of Europe’s hottest prospects. Havertz enjoyed an excellent season, scoring 17 goals and providing 9 assists in 43 games for Bayer Leverkusen. He also scored in the DFB Pokal final but it did little to change the final outcome. (h/t Transfermarkt)
Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller has already confirmed that the player could leave if a club pays his asking price. With Chelsea ready to do so, it might well prove to be the case of when and not if.
Chelsea’s efforts to finish in the top four received a boost as Leicester City yet again dropped points. Finishing third over fourth will also fetch us at least a couple of extra million in prize money.
At a time when the sport is reeling from the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, every penny matters.
