Chelsea have reached an agreement with Marseille for the transfer of Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi, according to L’Equipe.
It is thought that West Ham upped their bid to €39million yesterday, while Spurs also improved their initial offer, but it was too little too late. Chelsea have agreed to pay €40million for Batshuayi and a transfer should be concluded in the coming days.
Of the €40million, Marseille receive just €28million due to an agreement with Standard Liege made when Batshuayi first arrived. The Belgian outfit will pocket €12million.
