Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen edge closer to Kai Havertz deal with latest twist

Bayer Leverkusen will allow Chelsea flexibility with meeting Kai Havertz's price tag. Two clubs edge closer to completing a deal for the Germany international. The Blues were told they would have to spend £90million upfront to take Havertz to Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old has informed club bosses he wants to leave Leverkusen. According to Sport Bild, the Bundesliga side's stance has now changed. Leverkusen are still demanding a high fee but they are willing to accept a deal which includes add-ons and bonuses.  

Update @kaihavertz29 and @ChelseaFC: Leverkusen wants still a Transfer fee around 100 Mio Euro. But: the Club is open to having add ons/bonuses in a deal
