Voller opens up and makes COVID-19 claim about Chelsea deal to sign rbilliant Havertz this summer
Bayer Leverkusen director Rudi Voller says the Covid-19 pandemic made it easier for Chelsea to sign Kai Havertz.
Havertz has had an amazing couple of seasons over in the Bundesliga and has managed to net an impressive 38 goals for Leverkusen, with his performances linking him with all sorts of big club moves.
However, it was out club who managed to swoop in and bring him to the club in a deal that cost the club £71 million, although the Germans were hoping to get closer to £90 million for their prized asset.
Now Voller says they would have held out for more had it not been for the financial hit they have taken as a result of the pandemic, and claimed that we took full advantage of the COVID-19 problem to secure a transfer deal for Havertz.
“[Chelsea] simply made good use of the coronavirus period,” Voller told Bild. “Next year it would have been much harder for Chelsea to get Kai.
“[Other interested teams] preferred to hold back because of the high transfer fee in this special and uncertain time.”
He is easily regarded as one of the finest talents in the game and a player that should be capable of becoming one of the very best in the game, so we were totally right to get this deal done.
He would have cost alot more money next summer, so getting a bargain this summer is fine by us. He will repay that money that he have paid to get a deal done by helping us win trophies and games.
