Havertz’s destination still anyone’s guess

Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz is currently among the names mentioned most often regarding potential summer transfers. There have been numerous reports suggesting this club or that are leading the race for his signature, but it seems that no prospective suitor is anywhere near agreeing a deal. That is, at least, according to Raphael Honigstein, a respected journalist who recently compiled a very informative piece on the player and his current situation for The Athletic.

Bayern Munich have often scooped up the most talented players from other Bundesliga sides, thus maintaining their seemingly perpetual dominance in German football. This, naturally, makes many believe Havertz is destined to play at the Allianz Arena soon. However, Chelsea are also interested, and their recent success in stealing the march on Bayern and Liverpool to lure RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner to Stamford Bridge makes some reports suggest it’s actually the Londoners who are in front. Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs are also reportedly keen.

However, the situation is simple. Last year, Leverkusen weren’t willing to let Havertz go for anything less than €120 million, so he stayed put. They still haven’t changed their minds about getting what they believe the 21-year-old is worth, and no club has so far offered anywhere near their valuation.
