Chelsea could sell Havertz for £53m (Sky Germany)

2023-01-24T23:00:51.571Z

Chelsea must raise money through outgoing transfers to balance their rapid spending, and there is talk that the Blues could sell Kai Havertz for £53 million ($65.4m) this summer, reports Sky Germany.

While Bayern Munich are said to be uninterested, other clubs are ready to enter the race for the 23-year-old.

But Havertz is reportedly happy with Graham Potter's management style at Stamford Bridge and may resist a sale - much as Frenkie de Jong pushed back on Barcelona using him as a pawn to bring in money last summer.
