You’re probably correct - I think I heard something about one of the big Chelsea stakeholders having previously been associated with the same Saudi groups trying to power level their league. But if that’s the case, why are we not able to play a little hard to get? I would have been pretty satisfied if the deal had been worth around 50 in total.
Besides, no one else has even mentioned (to my knowledge) any other clubs that are interested in Havertz. Why is it that when we try and sell Leno, a backup but serviceable keeper, he only wants to go to a London club and fetches less than 10M, but when we want to buy a disappointing midfielder that only impressed in Germany and are completely unchallenged they cost almost as much as the original club paid for him? Rant over.
