Chelsea must spend more than £90MILLION to seal Kai Havertz transfer as Bayer Leverkusen stand firm on asking price

CHELSEA may end up paying more than £90million for top target Kai Havertz.
Germans Bayer Leverkusen are resigned to losing the impressive forward with Chelsea close to a deal.
Chelsea will have to pay over £90m to seal a deal for Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz
But they want £63m up front plus add-ons that would take the fee above £90m.
Frank Lampard’s Blues have already signed striker Timo Werner and winger Hakim Ziyech.
And closure on a deal for Havertz, 21, would take Chelsea’s spending to more than £170m.
That will wipe out the £150m banked, add-ons permitting, when they sold superstar Eden Hazard to Real Madrid this time last year.
Lampard is also on the lookout to strengthen further with a goalkeeper and defenders also on his wishlist.
Leicester’s Ben Chilwell is a target as a left back as is Ajax full back Nicolas Tagliafico.
Burnley’s Nick Pope and Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid are also under consideration as potential keepers.
