– Chelsea have reportedly agreed a fee worth £33million for Marseille strike Michy Batshuayi
– Batshuayi’s representatives have already outlined a five-year contract with Chelsea
– The Belgian 22-year-old striker scored 21 goals last season
Chelsea have agreed a £33million transfer fee with Marseille for Michy Batshuayi, Daily Mail reports.
According to the report, Batshuayi’s representatives have already outlined a five-year contract with Chelsea and his move will be ratified once he has undertaken a medical and gone over finer details.
It was gathered that Batshuayi is undergoing his medical in a clinic in Bordeaux with Chelsea staff at the moment.
Should Chelsea complete his signing, Marseille will pay Batshuayi’s former team Standard Liege £11.5m as part of their 35% sell-on agreement.
Marseille had to raise £21m by July 5 to pay of French football finance regulator DNCG for Batshuayi’s service.
The 22-year-old scored 21 goals last season and was on the score sheet in his country’s 4-0 win over Hungary on Sunday, when he came off the bench to replace Romelu Lukaku.
With Chelsea sending Radamel Falcao back to Monaco, Loic Remy a target for clubs in Turkey and Atletico Madrid keen on a return for Diego Costa, Batshuayi will fancy his chances at first team football at Chelsea.
The Belgium striker has been the subject of fevered bidding in recent days with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Tottenham all speaking to Marseille.
