Havertz ‘wants Chelsea transfer more than Sancho wants Man Utd move’ with deal ‘set to be done after Europa League’
KAI HAVERTZ is said to be pushing for a move to the Premier League more than Jadon Sancho.
The Bundesliga stars are both linked with a move to the English top flight.
Havertz, valued at £90million, is subject to heavy interest from Chelsea while United are at loggerheads with Borussia Dortmund, who price 20-year-old Sancho at £108m.
According to Sky Sports, of the pair it is Havertz, 21, who “is the one who is most keen to move as soon as possible”.
It is understood Chelsea have already agreed personal terms with the playmaker after Petr Cech flew to Germany for talks.
But Bayer Leverkusen publicly insisted if their valuation is not met, Havertz will not leave.
The player is reportedly keen to wrap up a move as soon as Leverkusen’s Europa League campaign is over.
They play Inter Milan in the quarter finals tonight.
United on the other hand face a battle to get their transfer for Sancho over the line.
Like Leverkusen, Dortmund stand firm they are in no rush to sell unless their price tag is met.
But United have made it clear they have no intention of paying £108m up front for the England forward.
The Germans told Old Trafford bosses they wanted an agreement in place by August 10.
But it appears no deal has been met with the winger boarding Dortmund’s flight to Switzerland to start their preparations for next season.
United are currently in Germany to complete their Europa League campaign.
And they are understood to see the Dortmund’s deadline as meaningless with the transfer window open until October 5.
On Saturday SunSport reported meeting the price tag for Sancho might lead to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side potentially blowing their entire transfer funds on one player.
It also emerged Sancho will be offered a new £173,000-a-week deal at Dortmund if he stays.
Although it would make him one of German football’s highest earners, it is still dwarfed by the £350k-a-week he is likely to get at Old Trafford.
Sancho attended a house party in the UK with rap stars Krept and Konan at the weekend.
But Dortmund posted a statement confirming they were happy for the 20-year-old to be in England.
Communications chief Sascha Fligge said: “It’s common and fine for players to go home before a training camp if they’re not risky.

“The same goes for Jadon.
“From our point of view, the pictures that have been shown to us so far do not violate.”
It is claimed former City starlet Sancho wishes to return to Manchester, but could be involved in a nervy summer saga.
