Chelsea are ‘in advanced talks’ to sign Kai Havertz

The Kai Havertz news keeps on coming in, and as per the latest report, Chelsea are now in advanced talks to sign the 21-year old.

This is according to self-proclaimed transfer expert Nicolo Schira, who claims that Chelsea are at advanced stages in their talks with the German international’s agent over a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

He says that Havertz ‘has asked to be released by Bayer Leverkusen’ and that both parties are ‘confident to reach an agreement’ for the deal to be done. All that would be left then is agreeing the fee with Bayer.

As we stated in one of our earlier reports today, Bayer want £90 million to let him go, whereas Chelsea are looking to pay close to £70 million, but there is a confidence that a deal can be agreed.

If Chelsea can get this one over the line it will be a massive statement signing of clear intent.
