Italian claims Leverkusen squeezing every penny out of Chelsea for gifted Havertz

Gabrielle Marcotti is convinced Leverkusen are trying to squeeze every penny out of Chelsea in the chase for Kai Havertz.

We have now been chasing Havertz for months as talks continue to stall over the valuation of the gifted midfielder, as it seems that the two clubs are too far apart for this deal to be completed.

And Journalist Marcotti has opened up and suggested that Leverkusen are are trying to squeeze every penny out of the club, but we are in no rush to complete a deal for their top transfer target.

He told ESPN: “I don’t know, it to me continues to smack of Leverkusen saying ‘oh let’s try to cash in on Havertz, let’s try to strike while the iron is hot.

“I don’t think Chelsea are in any rush, I don’t think Chelsea feel that they need Kai Havertz, given the players they’ve already added, Werner and Ziyech and the players who are already there, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the list goes on.

“But equally Chelsea are saying ‘if there’s a chance to get this guy on terms we like because yeah we’re going to go for it, because apparently he wants to come to us.’

“So I don’t think Chelsea are going to budge from their position or inch upwards or Lampard is going to force the club to say ‘I need Havertz now’, not when they have more important positions to fill.”

Lets see how this all plays out as we would love to see Havertz arrive at the club.
