Chelsea are ‘about to reach an agreement’ with Bayer Leverkusen for Kai Havertz, report Sky Deutschland on Monday evening.
Throughout the day there’s been positive slants on the transfer from around Europe, and that’s been the theme in the German media for some time.
With moves for Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner already wrapped up, Thiago Silva also looks a likely recruit after his PSG contract expired.
Sky Deutschland explain there’s a little last minute transfer ‘poker’ going on between the Premier League club and Bayer Leverkusen, and there’s a rough agreement for the transfer. Havertz has also agreed to the move and now it’s just a case of finalising the last details.
That’s related to bonus payments, with it being explained the two clubs have agreed on a base price of around €80m.
