Chelsea set high price tag for Arsenal target

Chelsea have set a huge asking price for Kai Havertz, who is attracting interest from Arsenal, according to The Telegraph.

The German had a difficult 2022/23 season with the Blues and he is open to pursuing a new challenge in the coming weeks.

Havertz was recently linked with a move to Real Madrid, but the La Liga giants have no plans of making a formal bid for him.

Hence, the Gunners are probably his best destination at the moment, but they are unlikely to make an approach for his services.

The current £70 million price tag is deemed to be expensive and the Blues will need to lower the fee to encourage Arsenal to bid.

Havertz has been quiet regarding his future with the Blues, but reports claim that he has no plans of extending his contract with them.

The German is frustrated with his career at Chelsea and believes he could fare better with a change of surroundings this summer.
