‘They Need Reduce These Prices’ ‘No One Will Buy Them For That’ Fans React As Chelsea Try To Sell Trio For £195M

David Tully Jun 13th 2023

Chelsea are keen to raise around £195m from the sales of Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Conor Gallagher, according to reports in the English media.

The Blues hope to receive £80m for Mount, around £65m for Havertz and as much as £50m for Gallagher during the summer transfer window. While some fans on Twitter do commend the club for sticking to their guns in terms of their high asking prices, most doubt whether any teams will make bids close to the current valuations:

Chelsea are in a difficult spot financially

Due to the fact they have spent over £600m over the past two transfer windows, the Blues will have difficulty adding numbers to their squad without offloading a number of first-team players first.

As other clubs are aware of the club’s financial situation, though, it means that many will hold out for them to lower their price tags as they know they have to sell at some point.

Teams are playing a ‘cat and mouse’ game with Chelsea

There are already two examples where teams are refusing to match asking prices. Manchester United are not willing to pay more than £55m for Mount at the moment, which is a sizeable amount below the player’s valuation.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are interested in Havertz but they are now expected to wait until the end of the window to make their move in the hope that Chelsea reduce their demands.
