​Chelsea name price for Batshuayi as BVB increase interest

Chelsea are reportedly demanding £50 million for Michy Batshuayi as Borussia Dortmund look to make the Belgium international's loan move permanent at the end of the season.

After struggling to make an impact with Chelsea during the first-half of the season, Batshuayi has been in lightning form since joining Dortmund on loan, having managed to score nine times from 14 games.

The 24-year-old was brought in by Dortmund as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who joined Arsenal in January. And the London Evening Standard claim it will cost the Bundesliga club £50m to make the move permanent.

Both Batshuayi and Dortmund received a blow on Monday as the player all but confirmed that he will not play again this season after suffering an ankle ligament injury against Schalke on Sunday.
