I_am_the_grassJacob Steinberg: Arsenal keen on signing Kai Havertz with Chelsea set to demand fee of £70m
Matt_Sams_314That is an absolutely ridiculous fee (not that I think anyone would pay it)
Chelsea would pay such a fee but they're the one selling, unfortunately for them.
We'll probably leave this until late in the window. We'd be foolish to spend that much on a player before our priority signings are finished.
z2k_No one buying from Chelsea also delays them competing with us on signing players
sensiblepuffinDon't Chelsea need to sell but the end of the month for FFP purposes? The price of the brick will come down, surely.
I guess they're hoping a club would be stupid/desperate enough to try to get him now rather than wait until later in the window. Either that or they really don't want to lose him, and hope that they can shift other players far lower in the pecking order to satisfy the FFP requirements.
I'm sure you're right, but they can get fucked, apparently no one wants their overpriced albatrosses.
Haha. Yeah I guess the Boehly masterclass didn't work. Can't amortize Albatrosses.
darkufoLOL We'll not be paying anywhere near that if we do get him.
Don't shoot the messenger lol. Just posting the article. Not my opinion.
Highly doubt we'll bid that much. Even if we're interested in him we'll bid as much as we evaluate him and move to alternative options. There's always plan b, c, etc.
Skyraptor7I honestly think Chelsea are taking the piss with these prices. 80 for mount and 70 for havertz is insane
IronEagleBirdChelsea screwing the market with their purchasing and then they want the same inflated prices for their dead weight players.
LeighIf Havertz was worth 70m, then Chelsea wouldn't be selling him.
Halve it I reckon, Chelsea are in dreamland...
Would definitely take him though!
70m is a tough sell. On the upside, he is young and fits the age profile. I think there could be better ways of spending that kind of money.
