Amid Chelsea transfer speculation Bayer Leverkusen playmaker affirm desire to make the next step

Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro has affirmed that Kai Havertz needs to make the subsequent stage in his career in the midst of theory connecting the midfielder with a move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have been occupied after their two-window transfer ban, signing RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech for a combined total of around £80m but Frank Lampard is a long way from completed in this current summer’s transfer market.

Signing a top world class left-back remains Chelsea top priorities and the club are also hoping to acquire another goalkeeper, with Kepa Arrizabalaga set to leave the club after a troubling effort between the sticks at Stamford Bridge.

Kai Havertz has apparently agreed a five-year contract with the Blues but Chelsea are yet to agree a deal with Bayer Leverkusen over the 21-year-old’s fee as the Bundesliga outfit wait for a proposal of £89.8m.

Bayer Leverkusen have made no mystery of Kai Havertz’s longing to leave but their CEO, Carro, has would not preclude the chance of the 21-year-old remaining on for another season in Germany.
