Arsenal Close to Signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea Despite Bayern Munich’s Late Approach
Arsenal are reportedly close to signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea, despite Bayern Munich’s late approach. According to reports in Germany, the Gunners have already agreed personal terms with the Germany international and are currently in negotiations with Chelsea over a transfer fee. However, Chelsea has rejected Arsenal’s opening offer for Havertz, as they are holding out for a £70 million fee for the 24-year-old.
Bayern Munich approached Havertz this week to express their interest, but the Bundesliga champions were informed that Arsenal are much further ahead in their progress to complete a deal. The report claims Bayern’s approach ‘came too late’ and that Havertz’s preference is to remain playing in the Premier League. It’s also claimed that Bayern have not made an offer for Havertz and from the German club’s point of view, they would need Arsenal to drop their interest in order to have a chance of signing the Chelsea forward this summer.
Arsenal’s £80m bid for Declan Rice was rejected by West Ham this week. The Gunners are still in talks with West Ham over a fee for the England international. It’s understood that West Ham is holding out for a deal in the region of £100m. Rice is said to favour a move to Arsenal ahead of both Manchester United and Chelsea, although Manchester City is also considering a move this summer.
