Bundesliga star set for financial windfall as Chelsea intensify pursuit with €8m-a-year offer

Chelsea to offer Kai Havertz €8million a year in wages

According to transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Chelsea are set to offer Kai Havertz a substantial wage if he makes the move to Stamford Bridge.

The 21-year-old is set to land a sweet payday that will net him €8million a year. Schira also went on to add that the Blues are currently talking to the player’s agent and will offer the player a five-year deal.

If it does come to pass, Havertz will be the third high-profile player to join the club in the summer. Chelsea have already signed Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. It proves to be a busy summer at the Bridge as Marina Granovskaia aims big.

Havertz enjoyed an excellent season, scoring 17 goals and making 9 assists in 43 games. He also scored in the DFB Pokal final, although it did little to change the final result. (h/t Transfermarkt)

According to the Express, Chelsea see Havertz as the ideal upgrade on Ross Barkley. The England international is currently enjoying a fine run of games but has been woefully inconsistent since joining the club.

Bayer Leverkusen’s inability to qualify for the Champions League could be a determining factor in him deciding his future. It must, however, be mentioned that Leverkusen are still within a fighting chance of making the premier competition if they win the Europa League.
