Chelsea star keen on leaving due to unrest at club - Reports

Chelsea forward Kai Havertz reportedly wants to leave the club this summer due to the unrest and chaos at Stamford Bridge.

The German has been linked with a move away. As per Sport1, Real Madrid were interested in signing him after parting ways with many attackers. Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio and Mariano Diaz left the Spanish giants on free transfers.

However, due to the Blues' asking price in excess of £70 million, Real Madrid backed off from the deal. Havertz, though, has found new suitors in Chelsea's London rivals Arsenal.

As per The Athletic, the Gunners have already made an initial offer for the German forward. While Havertz has already accepted the proposal, the London rivals are yet to agree on a fee.

Havertz, 24, joined the west London side from Bayer Leverkusen for a big fee of around £80 million in 2020. He has been decent since, scoring the winning goal in the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester City in 2021.

However, the German has failed to make a consistent impact and has often been lambasted for his lack of clinical touch in front of goal. He has scored 32 goals and provided 15 assists in 139 games for Chelsea.

The Blues scored just 38 goals in as many Premier League games last season and finished 12th. They sacked two permanent managers but have now appointed Mauricio Pochettino ahead of the next season.

With such uncertainties and the lack of Champions League football at Stamford Bridge, Havertz is looking to leave this summer.

Chelsea-target interested in moving to Manchester United

Chelsea and Manchester United are in the market for a goalkeeper this summer. While the Blues could part ways with Edouard Mendy, the Red Devils are keen to find some competition for David de Gea.

Both clubs have registered a heavy interest in Inter Milan's Andre Onana, but as per The Guardian, he would prefer to join Manchester United.

The Cameroon international has worked with United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax, making 145 appearances. The Red Devils will also feature in the UEFA Champions League next season after finishing third in the Premier League. Chelsea, meanwhile, finished 12th and will be without European football next season.

Onana, 27, had an excellent season with Inter, keeping 19 clean sheets in 41 appearances across competitions. He kept eight clean sheets in 13 Champions League appearances, helping them reach the final, where they lost against treble-winning Manchester City.
