This summer Chelsea are breaking the bank. After failing to sign a footballer last summer due to a FIFA ban, the London side are steadily strengthening themselves during the summer market.
After the arrivals of Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr and Thiago Silva, the ‘blues’ now focus their efforts on closing the signing of Kai Havertz, for which there would already be an agreement in principle.
The English press assures that the German from Bayer Leverkusen will land at Stamford Bridge after disbursing some 80 million euros, a figure that will be added to what has already been spent on other signings, exceeding 220 “kilos”. The operation will be unlocked when the German side “ties” his replacement, Patrick Schick, a Roma forward.
But the market does not end with Havertz, as Frank Lampard has asked for a goalkeeper and the club has noticed Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. According to the Mirror, Chelea has presented a new offer after the French club has rejected the first, of 15 million euros.
