Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz has reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea ahead of a proposed move to Stamford Bridge during this summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old has allegedly told Leverkusen that he wants to join Frank Lampard's side ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United.
According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, there is already a 'total agreement' between Havertz's agent and Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia when it comes to personal terms.
Schira claims that the Germany international has agreed a five-year contract worth €8m (£7.2m) a year plus add-ons, although Chelsea are yet to settle on a transfer fee with Leverkusen.
A recent report claimed that the Premier League club were waiting to make sure of a Champions League spot for the 2020-21 campaign before launching an official bid.
Havertz, who is capable of playing in a number of different forward positions, scored 17 times and registered nine assists in 43 appearances for Leverkusen during the 2019-20 campaign.

Newcastle United are reportedly weighing up a loan move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.
The 22-year-old only joined Los Blancos from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer but has found it difficult to make his mark at the Bernabeu during the 2019-20 campaign.
The Serbia international has struck just twice in 26 outings for Zinedine Zidane's side in all competitions, leading to suggestions that he could be on the move in the upcoming market.
According to The Shields Gazette, Newcastle scouts have identified Jovic as a potential loan signing for the 2020-21 campaign as the club look to boost their attacking options.
The report, meanwhile, claims that the Magpies are currently planning for no takeover as the speculation surrounding the ownership of the club continues.
Jovic scored 36 times in 75 outings for Frankfurt before arriving in the Spanish capital.
