Saudi government’s head of football in talks with Chelsea to sign three Chelsea stars

According to Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato, Saudi Arabia’s head of football is currently in London to negotiate with Chelsea over the transfer of Hakim Ziyech, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly.

Aouna said: “The Saudi government’s head of football is currently in London to negotiate with Chelsea (Ziyech, E.Mendy, Koulibaly).

“Several Saudi clubs are also present to negotiate with others players. Meeting are already scheduled with their agent next week in London.”

Meanwhile, according to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, German champions Bayern Munich have now entered the race to sign Chelsea star Kai Havertz.

Bayern Munich were reportedly not previously interested in signing Havertz but have now changed their stance with Arsenal leading the race to sign the German international.

Bayern Munich boss and former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is pushing Bayern Munich to sign Havertz as he is keen on reuniting with the forward.

Tuchel see Havertz as an alternative to Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani. Bayern Munich believe it’s feasible signing Havertz this summer compared to Kolo Muani.
