Chelsea has been in talks with Bayer Leverkusen to secure the Kai Havertz deal for several months. He is expected to join Lampard’s side in a record-breaking transfer.

Leverkusen’s proposed £90m fee along with bonuses will make him the highest ever paid German international.
Chelsea is closer to secure the deal with the German club but is being held up by the demands over bonus payments. The delay of Lampard’s priority summer signing has left the fans impatient. The excitement of the Blues has reached so far that the fans have already made videos to welcome him.

The signing of this German sensation will certainly make the board and the fanbase excited.
Kai’s impressive performance for Bayer Leverkusen has established him as one of the most exciting European talents. Needless to say, Kai Havertz has been on Lampard’s radar for quite a long time. The Club is adamant to add more firepower to the current squad.
It was quite evident with Lampard’s post-match interview after the UCL defeat to Bayern Munich.
“From having a transfer ban you feel the fact that other clubs have spent and improved. Recruitment is a big part of this game. When you look through this team, nights like tonight in a footballing sense, show me a lot,” said the Chelsea boss to the press.
“It is our job to go away and see what happens and see if we can improve. I feel like I know where we can and now it is time to look at that,” he said.
It seems like a matter of time to finalize the agreement for this talented star.
I think even the most rational, patient Chelsea fan can be forgiven some impatience on the Kai Havertz deal.
It’s been going on for 4 months, a third of a year. It’s fair & reasonable to be a little frustrated & impatient by now.

“The parties are very close because of the question of add-ons. €80m is needed to be paid directly and then €20m in two parts. The delay is due to that”- said a journalist to Daily Star.
