Premier League sides Chelsea and Manchester United are keen to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz during the upcoming transfer window, as per various reports.
And now the club’s top man has dropped a major hint that the 21-year-old could be on his way out of the club. Also, they will respect his decision and let him join a new club, as and when he wants.
Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro told two publications, as consolidated by Football365: “Many clubs are interested in him.
“I see the player’s wish to take the next step sometime in the near future. You have to respect that as much as the fact that he has a contract in until 2022.
“Kai has been with us for ten years, he is a player who is fully integrated and devoted to the club, but he wants to take a big step.
“All the great clubs in Europe are after him and for us, in the end, what the player wants is what is important.
“We are open to see what will happen in the future, nobody knows. At the moment he is focused on the season with us. He has been injured the last two games but we hope to have him for the last few fixtures.”
Where will Kai Havertz land up?
This is great news for both Man United as well as Chelsea since the two sides are eager to add the playmaker to their ranks this summer.
Some reports in England claim that Chelsea have already set the ball rolling in order to land the attacking midfielder but there are serious doubts if either of the two Premier League clubs can get their hands on him or not.
A recent report by The Sun has claimed that La Liga giants Real Madrid are also interested in signing Kai Havertz which is a serious setback for Chelsa and Man United.
The report claims: “REAL MADRID are ready to join the battle for Kai Havertz – but Chelsea remain in pole position with the German prodigy keen on a move to the Premier League.
“Spanish giants Real are the latest to register an interest in Bayer Leverkusen star Havertz, who is regarded as Germany’s best young talent since Michael Ballack.
“Now Real have also shown their hand, but SunSport understands it is the chance to move to England which appeals most to Havertz at this stage.”
If this news is true then we doubt if a youngster like Kai Havertz will be ready to snub the chance of playing under Zinedine Zidane at a club like Real Madrid next season.
This season, the 21-year-old has played in 27 Bundesliga matches, scoring 11 and assisting five goals so far.
