Chelsea
Are Very Close To Striking A Deal For Kai Havertz
Chelsea FC under Frank Lampard
have been enjoying some successes on the pitch, off the pitch, and in the
transfer market this season, considering they’re coming off the back of a
transfer ban that prevented them from signing players this season.
The Blues have progressed to the
final of the FA Cup after thrashing Manchester United 3:1 at Wembley on Sunday
and will now face city rivals Arsenal in the final.
Chelsea fans are excited at the
prospect of Frank Lampard’s first professional managerial silverware with the
club where he carved a niche for himself as a legend. They will also be excited
about the report that Germany international and Bayern Leverkusen midfielder
Kai Havertz could join the club in the coming days.

| Chelsea Are Very Close To Striking A Deal For Kai Havertz |
Chelsea are closing in on a deal
for the highly-rated midfielder after holding talks with him. Multiple sources
are claiming that the Stamford Bridge outfit is the only club in pursuit of the
21-year-old who scored 17 goals in 43 appearances for Bayern Leverkusen this
season.
However, the Bundesliga outfit
failed to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Regardless, Chelsea
are close to a £72m deal for Kai Havertz. It can be recalled that they’ve
already signed Timo Werner from RB Leipzig and Hakim Ziyech from Eredivisie
giants Ajax in deals totaling almost £90m.
I wonder if anyone would be bold
enough to bet against the occurrence of this deal presently as odds against it
will be madly high. Regardless, those who don’t want a guaranteed loss to bookies
can find fair options to bet on with decent chances at casimba.com. The odds won’t be
utterly stacked against you like the possibility of this transfer is, based on
emerging reports. Meanwhile, reports claim that the Blues are yet to agree on a
fee with Leverkusen who want more than £80m.
The likes of Man United,
Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid have been linked with the versatile
forward but it appears that Chelsea are leading the race to sign him.
The forward has reportedly said
he would be interested in a move to Chelsea as long as they secure Champions
League football next season. Meanwhile, Frank Lampard’s men have two Premier
League games left, one away to Liverpool at Anfield and one at home to Wolves.
They need just 3 points to guarantee them a place in the UCL next season and
they look good to get it.
There are reports from Sky in
Germany that the deal for Havertz is almost done although Chelsea’s next
season’s UCL participation has not been confirmed. This was disclosed by Sky
transfer expert Marc Behrenbeck, who said: “We can delete all other clubs.
“According to our information,
Havertz has fully agreed with Chelsea FC.
“All ‘personal terms’ such as
salary, contract details, etc. have been checked and clarified.
“Chelsea is going all in with the
deal. It’s about a transfer fee of €80m to which there are still possible
bonuses.”
If this report turns out to be
concrete, then Chelsea have an attacking gem on their hands and hopefully, do
not falter in the next two Premier League games and seal a place in next season’s
UEFA Champions League.
