CHELSEA could reportedly be set to make a whopping £55MILLION loss on Kai Havertz.
The 23-year-old cost the Blues £72m up-front when they signed the attacker from Bayer Leverkusen back in September 2020.
But that deal could eventually cost them £90m in total due to add-on clauses.
Initially costing £72m, the attacking midfielder will earn Leverkusen an extra £18m if certain performance-related bonuses are fulfilled.
Chelsea handed over another £9m when Havertz fired them to Champions League glory against Manchester City in 2021.
And they were also due to pay a further £9m as an instalment at a later date.
However, amid an influx of new signings as part of owner Todd Boehly’s mega-money overhaul of the squad, the German international could reportedly be heading back to his homeland as a huge loss to the club.
According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich are watching Havertz’s situation at Chelsea very closely.
They state that a move may happen in the summer - but the transfer fee would only be between £35m to £52m.
Havertz, who is under contract until 2025, has scored six goals so far this season and is Chelsea’s joint-top scorer with Raheem Sterling.
