Chelsea continue to work on a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.
As we reported earlier today, Havertz has made a decision to join Chelsea this summer, according to German publication Kicker.
They also state that Blues owner Roman Abramovich is both willing and capable of signing Havertz regardless.
So how much will the 21-year old German international cost Chelsea this summer if they can complete the deal?
100 million euros (£91.8 million), according to BILD’s Christian Falk.
He believes that the German side are not willing to lower the fee any more than that, but Chelsea could pay the deal with add ons and bonuses in order to get the initial payout fee down. This is quite normal for a lot of transfer deals to be honest and it could be a good way for Chelsea to get the deal done.
Update @kaihavertz29 and @ChelseaFC: Leverkusen wants still a Transfer fee around 100 Mio Euro. But: the Club is open to having add ons/bonuses in a deal

There is a little way to go on this deal, and as Kicker say, Bayer want Havertz to play in the Europa League for them in August before letting him leave the club.
