Frank Lampard's side have now made Havertz their top target for the summer transfer window. They are continuing to splash the cash this summer, having already spent £90m on Werner and Hakim Ziyech. According to BILD, they’ve been in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Havertz since last week, and are closing in on a deal. He will become the most expensive German player of all time, meaning the transfer fee will be at least £53m. Leverkusen want £90m for the playmaker, but Chelsea value him closer to £70m and would prefer to pay in instalments, claims Fabirizo Romano. He has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Blues and will sign a five-year deal once the transfer fee is agreed.Our Story: negotiations between @bayer04_en and @ChelseaFC for @kaihavertz29 started in the middle of last week.
