DBasia.news – Bayern Munich will soon stop the hunt for Kai Havertz. Because of this, Chelsea became the most likely to get Havertz.
This season Havertz appeared to steal the show with Bayer Leverkusen. He was able to score 17 goals and nine assists in all events this season with Die Werkself.
Havertz’s neat appearance made several clubs interested in recruiting him. Bayern and Chelsea are said to be the club that is most interested in the 21-year player.
But now, Bayern decided to retreat to hunt down Havertz. Honorary President of Bayern, Uli Hoensess said that Die Rotten will not spend large funds back to bring in players after getting Leroy Sane.
Sane was brought in by Bayern this season from Manchester City. They are said to have to spend 49 million euros plus a bonus of 11 million euros to secure the services of the 24-year-old winger.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen is said to have set a price of 70 million euros for Leverkusen. Hoeness considered if Bayern continued to bring Havertz it would disrupt the stability of Bayern’s financial condition. Especially now that there is a keris due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
“I am convinced that after Leroy Sane there will not be a big transfer this year. This has nothing to do with Havertz’s quality. We all think he is an extraordinarily good player,” Hoeness told German FAZ newspaper.
“But in the Corona virus epidemic period after a transfer of nearly 50 million euros, it is impossible to spend another 70-80 million or more. I cannot imagine that happening. Unless we first sell players to secure the team’s financial condition,” he explained.
This situation makes Chelsea arguably the leader in the hunt for Havertz. They are reportedly willing to pay the price proposed by Leverkusen for the German national team midfielder for 70 million euros.
