      Chelsea would pay such a fee but they’re the one selling, unfortunately for them.

    Highly doubt we’ll bid that much. Even if we’re interested in him we’ll bid as much as we evaluate him and move to alternative options. There’s always plan b, c, etc.

    Don’t Chelsea need to sell by the end of the month for FFP purposes? The price of the brick will come down, surely.

      I guess they’re hoping a club would be stupid/desperate enough to try to get him now rather than wait until later in the window. Either that or they really don’t want to lose him, and hope that they can shift other players far lower in the pecking order to satisfy the FFP requirements.

    We’ll probably leave this until late in the window. We’d be foolish to spend that much on a player before our priority signings are finished.

      No one buying from Chelsea also delays them competing with us on signing players

    70m is a tough sell. On the upside, he is young and fits the age profile. I think there could be better ways of spending that kind of money.

    I honestly think Chelsea are taking the piss with these prices. 80 for mount and 70 for havertz is insane

      Chelsea screwing the market with their purchasing and then they want the same inflated prices for their dead weight players.
