Chelsea want to seal Havertz deal by next week

Updated 28 Jul, 2020

Premier League giants Chelsea are looking forward to seal the deal for Kai Havertz after successfully securing Champions League spot on the last day of the 2019-20 campaign.

The Blues confirmed their place in next season's elite after clinching a 2-0 victory over Wolves on Sunday.

As per the Sky Sport, the German star has already agreed to move to west London. All that remains to be settled in the deal is the fee between Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga side value their star attacker at around £90million but the Blues are hoping to lower the figure by around £20m with add-ons.

Havertz is currently training with Leverkusen ahead of their Europa League resumption on August 6. The side missed out on qualifying for the Champions League via the Bundesliga, however they can still secure the spot in the league if they win UEFA's secondary competition.

Leverkusen face Rangers in the last-16 of the Europa League and are currently leading Steven Gerrard's outfit 3-1.

Havertz is hoping his move to Chelsea will be complete before the second-leg takes place.

Although the 21-year-old would still be ineligible to feature in the Blues' existing Champions League campaign this season.

Chelsea have a mountain to climb to overturn their 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich during the second leg of their last-16 tie on August 8.
