"Chelsea 'considering' using €80m of €200m warchest on Kai Havertz" - Kristof Terreur
Good question. I've always found those sorts of headlines "considering a bid", "set to offer x amount" etc funny in a way because they don't actually mean anything.
But Kristof Terruer is deemed very reliable so I thought it was worth posting.
Id be over the feckin moon if we pulled it off.
Unless Barca are getting Pjanic plus a bunch of cash, that's a horrible deal. They are in desperate need of cash, so I could see that. But if it's just a straight swap....horrible.
Juventus piss me off, they sign a ridiculous amount of players and are also tight as a ducks ass.
Enough meaning what?
Leverkusen are now one match away from missing CL football next season and Havertz's contract is not bulletproof either, due to end June 2022. All this while the player himself has expressed his wish to have his situation sorted this summer.
This is the perfect time for Leverkusen to cash in on him and to be fair they are not in a position of strenght anymore. Big clubs have been affected by this pandemic, Leverkusen failure to qualify for CL football next season, plus the pandemic context will mean an even bigger hit for a club like Leverkusen.
We'll see more on Havertz next week when Bundesliga is over. Out of CL football, plus the player's contract AND his decision to leave, plus the (post) pandemic situation = forget about the 90-100M you have heard of so far.
I'm not saying it is going to be Chelsea, but if this happens (Leverkusen miss CL football), the clubs negociating would be in a position of strenght and I would not be surprised if he leaves for 70M tops, nevermind the 80M you think it already is not enough.
Are Barcelona this stupid?

@RealBetis
William Carvalho has an advanced agreement with Leicester to leave at the end of the season. Understanding between the clubs is lacking but all parties welcome this operation
If true then surely that means Choudhury/Ndidi could be open to moving? Why would they need all three?
Why do they need him? Bit strange. Can we please buy Ndidi.
Carvalho is an awesome player. Saw him live a couple of years ago when Betis was playing against Barcelona at camp nou. In my opinion he was the best player on the pitch in that game and Betis got all three points, winning 3-4.
Not the fastest player, but has great positioning and passing range.

Leicester have a Champions League campaign on the horizon. They will need far more strength in depth to prepare for the extra big games.
Sure, but 3 DMs seems like overkill for me.
Would definitely be looking at a Maguire like price for him but ideal player to shield back four and let Pogba & Bruno flourish.
Ndidi is overrated for me. Not that i've watched Leicester religiously this season. But the games i've seen, he's been good - but not to the level where top teams should be fighting over him.
Amazing thing is they got a fee for him.
Papy Mendy’s contract was up this summer and Hamza Chowdhury is more of a box to box midfielder.
Fitness issues.
Off the pitch trouble.
Inconsistent performances.
I'm a big fan of his, but yep, you're right. He plays it way too safe. He makes Cleverley look like an adventurous passer.
His ability to deal with pressing opposition is next level, though. His only standout attribute, and, to be fair, it's a great one to have.
Ndidi to us? 
The name William Carvalho takes my back to the Moyes summer window... Painful memories.
I don't see any movement in this.
Arthur, De Jong and Messi are rumoured to be the only players Barca are 100% not open to selling.
Wouldn't make much sense for a swap, the valuation of each player dont match up and there's a considerable age gap.
Not happening
The best teams have squad depth.
We have learnt that a few injuries and your playing Andreas Periera as a DM. Disaster.
Carvalho is a good player, surprised he hasnt played at a much bigger club than he has with respect.
I wouldnt consider signing good players to be strange, just makes sense to me.
Ndidi to us would cost a fortune. Not going to happen this summer. Sancho and Bellingham are our focus by the looks of it
Vidal and Countinho are not required.
Vidal is heavily linked to Inter and we all know they're open to flogging Countinho to whoever wants him.
Saurez will likely stay, the youngsters may get another loan and it's not hard to switch to a EU back up keeper.
Arthur will be staying
He's really not better though,
This logic baffles me. He's been here nearly a decade, we've all been frustrated by his limitations. He's not getting any younger, fitter or better.
We need to move on.
Smalling has no future here. He's done at utd and rightly so
Ndidi to us?
I wish. But the truth is Carvalho has been crap this season. I mean he's made 4 tackles with 10 players dribbling past him, I highly doubt this is Leicester's idea of replacing their ball winner.
They're just giving someone who has failed in Betis this season a fresh chance. He did okay last season but nothing like the hype suggested years back. Squad player
Because Betis dont want him so he's available.
Ndidi to us?
I was about to post the exact same thing. Nobody has 2 dedicated CDM's.
Ndidi to us?
I wish. But we've hardly been linked with DMs
Might be the most blatant case of money laundering I've seen 
Those clubs are so dodgy
Those clubs are so dodgy
Ah.. Barca and Juve doing some creative accounting with the swaps..
Right. And then as soon as it turns to 01 July and a new accounting year, it will be ‘BREAKING - Barcelona have agreed a £72.5m deal to sign Miralem Pjanic from Juventus’.
So much for us not spending 90m on Sancho in Corona because "how would that make us look"
You might want to change that focus from Bellingham to Van Der Beek/Grealish
