Starting to think there’s something there but I doubt it will be quick. We don’t really need him and Chelsea are going to try and hold ou for another buyer/more money so could see this one going to the wire.
Which as he’s not going to be starting isn’t necessarily a bad thing, either way you think we’re going for Rice/Caicedo first as they will be starting.
I mean having him won’t be a bad thing, but for that price I’m surprised we are actually in for him. If we do get him, I’m curious how Mikel is going to cook him.
The interesting thing about the quotes I’ve seen is ‘£60m “all in”’. Which suggests this is press fuckery to add more to the valu than they normally would when reporting a transfer (basically th opposite of how Haaland was done)
So assuming you remove bonuses for winning and who knows what else it could be considerably lower.
I’d take him at Jesus costs as he’s not on his last year of contract.
I remember being gutted that Chelsea had landed him, thought he was a real baller from Leverkusen. If we can get a “fire-sale” type deal, then I think he can be good for us.
So how much of this Havertz thing is just smoke?

To be fair, he did win them a Champions Legue final.
Hopefully he can for us too.
