They will need to convince Bayer Leverkusen to let go of the German superstar, who is under contract at the BayArena until 2022. That said, they may be more inclined to sell him now he’s made his priorities clear.
Leverkusen finished fifth in the Bundesliga table this season, which is a good finish for them and it was largely due to the goals and assists which Havertz seemed to contribute on a week-by-week basis.
That said, Leverkusen will not be playing in the Champions League next season unless they win the Europa League, in which they will face Rangers. Chelsea find themselves in a top-four race, which has become more important to reach since Manchester City regained their access into the Champions League next season.
Havertz is a player with a high enough calibre to demand Champions League football. Especially as he prepares for EURO 2021 with Germany, he will be hoping to play at a high stage in preparation for the summer competition.
