Salzburg has been informed of the agreement and next Chelsea have to finalise a compensation package with the club to secure Freund’s arrival.
Chelsea have also been linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain advisor Luis Campos and reportedly offered him £135,000-a-week.
It seems they have found their man in Freund, who gave Erling Haaland his first shot at the big time when he signed him at Salzburg.
