Arsenal have already had one offer for Havertz rejected by their London rivals and it is unclear whether the Gunners will meet Chelsea's asking price.
The 24-year-old was bought for £75million in 2020 and talkSPORT understands the Blues are demanding the same price this summer.
Havertz was a regular starter during Tuchel's 19 months in charge at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Germany international has struggled for goals throughout his Chelsea career, having moved into a centre-forward role.
