Romano opens up and claims imminent signing of Havertz will mean bad news for Chelsea – Oblak deal

Italian Fabrizio Romano has claimed Chelsea’s imminent signing of Kai Havertz means they will be priced out of a move for Jan Oblak.

Havertz has been in the transfer headlines for months now as we have made him the clubs number one transfer target this summer, and it is widely expected that he will make that move to the Bridge once the Europa League season is over.

However, is we do manage to secure a deal for the German, it will mean that they may not be able to sanction big deals for the likes of Oblak or Marc Andre Ter-Stegen, and  Romano claims cheaper targets Andre Onana and Nick Pope are top of their list of potential goalkeepers.

He told the Beautiful Game podcast: “They have a list, they have a list for the goalkeeper.

“They have to consider if they are going to sign Havertz, they can spend money for too many players like they did for [Hakim] Ziyech, they did for [Timo] Werner and they hope to do for Havertz.

“If they sign Havertz, they have a list and they will consider [Andre] Onana for sure.

“Another name is [Nick] Pope, at the moment it’s so, so difficult to see a big name like Ter Stegen or Oblak to Chelsea.

“As I said, they’re going to spend so much on the team this season and to sign a goalkeeper for €120million is so difficult.

“[Jan] Oblak and [Marc-Andre] Ter Stegen are really difficult targets but I think Onana is on the list.”
