Chelsea close in on announcement as £85 million fee reportedly agreed for Havertz

Chelsea have now agreed an £85million fee for Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz, according to reports from Germany

It is no secret in the media that we are very keen to try and secure a transfer deal for Havertz and have been backed to complete a deal for the German star for months now.

However, it has been claimed that both the clubs cannot agree on the Havertz fee, and that is holding up the possible £70 million signing of a player that netted 18-goals last season.

But now it seems that a deal is on the verge of being announced, as Cwe have reportedly now agreed a massive £85 million deal with the German outfit, much more than the £70 million we were hoping to pay, with reports that an announcement is also on its way.

A Byline podcast host said to Jan Age Fjortoft: “People know I speak to contacts and hear things.

“So if I was to tell you Chelsea have agreed an £85m fee to sign Kai Havertz, £60m up front and it is now about how it’s structured, would that be realistic?”

Former Frankfurt striker and Bundesliga expert Fjortoft replied: “I think so. I’m 100% sure they will find a way.”

Look, if the reports are true and we are on the verge of announcing this deal then great, he will be a great buy for the long-term and a player that could be a real threat next season.

He is more then welcome, so lets hope this transfer news is true.
