• Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz * is courted by many top clubs. 
• Does the Bundesliga * star prefer to switch to FC Bayern München * ? 
• Despite the Corona crisis  , Real Madrid and Chelsea are also to go on the offensive with the transfer poker.

Update from June 3, 1:15 p.m .:  On Saturday there will be a big duel in the Bundesliga *: FC Bayern Munich is a guest at Bayer Leverkusen. The game, which was once the national ultimate, naturally takes place this year under different conditions than usual.

But one thing has not changed: Kai Havertz is still associated with FC Bayern Munich *. Will the shooting star land at Bayern in the summer? Most recently, the Hoeneß statements caused a stir (see update from May 30) - and the latest rumors also make a transfer far away.

Kai Havertz: Bayern transfer unlikely in summer 2020?

As reported by Sport Bild in its edition of June 3, the Bayern bosses are obviously planning to pilot Havertz to the Isar in the summer of 2021 . The reason: Leroy Sané is to become the king's transfer in 2020.

The international competition is huge and powerful, Leverkusen boss Rudi Völler also showed that a transfer fee of less than 100 million euros would not be an option for Havertz (contract until 2022) despite the Corona crisis. So maybe a rich club will be attacking in the coming months? 

According to Sport Bild, the dangerous midfielder wants clarity in the summer - even if he should only change in 2021. Possible scenario in which the Bavarians lose out because of their 2021 plan: Leverkusen receives a million offer for Havertz despite the Corona crisis , the player changes in summer 2020 and his new club pays a decent additional amount a year later - then, when more money is available due to the Corona crisis. So Leverkusen would come over the magical 100 million mark and Havertz could change as early as 2020 - possibly not to FC Bayern Munich *.

Bayern with top competition at Kai Havertz: Real takes Corona consequence - Premier League team plans offer

Update from June 1, 3:03 pm: The club for which the top German talent Kai Havertz will lace up shoes in the coming season is currently completely open. He himself had emphasized that he wanted to play the Champions League. That could also work in Leverkusen, since the Werkself are currently in fourth place.

However, Havertz is currently being circled by top clubs. Bavaria's interest has long been no secret. Now, however, an interested party has said goodbye to the mind games. As the Spanish Marca wants to know, Real Madrid has refrained from a Havertz transfer - at least this summer. The reason: Real was hit hard by the Corona crisis. Therefore, the planned transfer offensive was put on hold. 

There is another new applicant for Havertz services: Manchester United is planning an offer at Leverkusen , according to the English newspaper Sun. One should want to offer 55 million euros - far too little if Bayer remains true to its words, even after the Corona outbreak, to have a three-digit million amount for Havertz.

Havertz-Hammer at Bayern? Hoeneß statements cause a sensation: "Certainly like to have, but ..."

Update of 30 May: The FC Bayern tinkering on the squad for the future. It is obvious that this future will belong to Kai Havertz . The 20-year-old wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen around summer, but where to? 

Interested parties from all over Europe are already in line - including FC Bayer n, as Uli Hoeneß now confirms before the game of the record champions against Fortuna Düsseldorf: "We would certainly like to have that", said the former FC Bayern president at Bayern 1 : " But at the moment, of course, you don't really know exactly what the economic future of football as a whole is. "

The 68-year-old revised: "I would love to see him in Munich for sporting reasons," said Hoeneß . But "at the moment" he "honestly can't imagine it". The reason is the transfer demands from Leverkusen. So one hopes for a sum under the Bayerkreuz around 100 million euros ...

What are the effects of the corona crisis on the transfer summer? A lot is currently open. Oliver Kahn now spoke about possible transfers from FC Bayern.

Kai Havertz to Bayern? Chelsea is said to be very interested in German

Update from May 26: Is there another applicant for Kai Havertz ? According to Chelsea legend Frank Lebœuf , his blues should urgently look after the 20-year-old German. The Frenchman told ESPN : "I like his maturity on the pitch, he looks like someone who is 30 and knows exactly what to do and when to do it." Havertz was his team's orchestrator, "I would definitely hire this player, ”continued Lebœuf.

Chelsea has been said to be interested in Havertz for some time . And Lebœuf would like to see the German international "play very soon in the Premier League". 

The British Sun has long reported the lively interests of numerous Premier League clubs. Right now the focus should be particularly on Havertz , in Europe the leagues rest except for the Bundesliga - and there Havertz delivers from game to game. Most recently, he scored twice against Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen . In addition to Chelsea , Liverpool , Manchester United and Manchester City are said to be on Havertz.

Update from May 24: At the Rheinderby against Mönchengladbach, he was once again the man of the day. Kai Havertz scored twice in the 3-1 derby victory. After the final whistle, the 20-year-old also commented on the rumors of change about his person - and certainly left room for interpretation.

“It is clear that there is a lot of speculation at the moment. (...) At the end of the season we will find a solution ”, Havertz dictated on Saturday evening (May 23rd) in the notepads. The next cryptic statement followed a little later: “I am very grateful to Leverkusen. So now that there are so many games to play, I don’t want to mess it up. ”

After staying in the Rhineland, these sentences did not sound compelling. Can FC Bayern hope again? Most recently, industry giant Real Madrid also appeared to have intensified its efforts for Havertz.

Bayern goal Kai Havertz: Spain giant intervenes - and would pay a mega-fee despite Corona

Update from May 20:  "Zidane goes all out with  Kai Havertz ". The French football portal le10sport.com writes . Accordingly, Real Madrid and head coach Zinedine Zidane should  intensify their efforts for the German Bundesliga star Kai Havertz .

Bad for Bayern . The Munich-based company should also deal with the 20-year-old from Bayer Leverkusen - Säbener Straße has never denied this. FCB coach Hansi Flick is also a fan of the midfield strategist.

In the Corona crisis, the question remains of the transfer. Bayer coach Peter Bosz had recently publicly stated that he expected a transfer of over 100 million euros. To force transfer poker ? According to le10sport.com , the “royal” from Madrid should be ready to invest so much in the German soccer gem from Aachen.

Zidane himself is to push advertising - which is why Real Madrid is  willing to spend around 100 million euros. Can and does Bayern still keep up?

Kai Havertz: Ex-Bayer professional Jens Nowotny advises Borussia Dortmund

Update from May 18: He is certainly one of the most coveted young players in the Bundesliga . If Kai Havertz really wants to leave his training club in the summer, the buyers stand in line for the 20-year-old. 

If it is up to the former German international Jens Nowotny , Havertz should not join the German record champions . 

"For a young player, Borussia Dortmund may be better than Bayern Munich in terms of club and environment, " says the 46-year-old, who has been with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga for ten years , but adds in an interview with spox.com Nowotny that he would advise Havertz to play for the Werkself for at least another year. “For his personal development as a player and as a person, it would be good for him to be in an environment in which he feels comfortable - and that he has in Leverkusen. Otherwise he wouldn't have been in the club for ten years. ”Whether summer 2020 or summer 2021. Whether Bayern Munich , Boussia Dortmund or abroad. One thing is certain: the youngster's commitment is by no means cheap. 

Kai Havertz: Crazy barter deal considered - the traded names cause astonishment

Update from May 14th: The Bundesliga * starts next weekend after the almost eight-week Corona break . At that time, football was almost completely silent, but behind the scenes, people worked diligently. Especially in future transfers. 

No decision has yet been made on Kai Havertz's future . The FC Bayern want him, that's so widely known. The youngster also wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, and the Werkself hoped for a warm rain of money until the Corona crisis . But this could now fail.

Because a few top clubs should now be financially well positioned * to pay the 100 million required by Bayer. The FC Barcelona is therefore planning for information from Sport1 an exchange transaction. So Havertz is supposed to switch to the Catalans, and in return a Barca star could lace up the shoes for Bayer in the future.  

UPDATE #Havertz: Barcelona is still in touch with the player's side. Because of the upcoming transfer of #Pjanic, Abidal / Planes think about a swap deal. Recently, Emerson has been offered to Bayer. Other options for Havertz: Real, Manchester United, Chelsea, #FCBayern. @ SPORT1

Leverkusen was allegedly offered right-back Emeron, who is currently on loan to Real Betis. Carles Alena and Marc Cucurella are also traded. No names that could be offset against Havertz.

In addition to these youngsters, FC Barcelona also want to get rid of Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal, Arthur, Ousmane Dembele, Nelson Samedo, Junior Firpo and also Philippe Coutinho . However, it is rather questionable whether one of the boys is drawn to Leverkusen. Difficult to imagine. 

For FC Bayern , a Havertz deal in the original form would also not be realistic. If the transfer from Leroy Sané should become cheaper than initially thought, the record champion could perhaps add a little more to the Havertz package .

FC Bayern / Kai Havertz - Michael Ballack gives explosive advice: "When we talk about Bavaria, ..."

Update from May 13: The transfer speculation about FC Bayern Munich and top talent Kai Havertz does not stop, but the voices that advise the 20-year-old to stay in Leverkusen are increasing. 

Michael Ballack also joined the group and estimated to Sport Bild that Havertz was "in good hands in Leverkusen". Players of its quality are in demand everywhere, but staying there is an advantage for its development. “The general conditions there are perfect for young top players and their further development. Bayer plays attractive football, the training opportunities are very good. In the calm environment, you can still make mistakes as a young player without immediately being the focus of the media.

However, since a player from Havertz Klasse wants to continue playing in the Champions League, a Leverkusen qualification is important for the premier class. Ballack warns: “If we are talking about Bavaria, if you want to take the next step as a player, you also have to be prepared for such a challenge in order to survive in such a robust environment as in Bavaria. That will really weigh up his surroundings - and especially him - when the right time has come to take the next step. ”

Kai Havertz: Rummenigge against summer transfer - dear "stay one or two more years at Bayer"

Update from April 18: Kai Havertz has long been traded as a new signing at Bayern . A great future is predicted for German midfield talent. Ex-Bayern star Lothar Matthäus even believes the 20-year-old has the world football title - and "Loddar" must know, he is the only German to date to have received the award.

FC Bayern certainly played a decisive role in the award, even though it was awarded at Inter Milan at the time. By the way, Matthew switched to the Isar at the age of 23 . So should Havertz stay in Leverkusen to do something similar? 

FC Bayern / Kai Havertz: Transfer in summer? Better to wait "another year or two"

According to Michael Rummenigge , a change in the summer would be too early. In his weekly column for “Sportbuzzer”, he spoke out against a Havertz transfer in the summer. Accordingly, the German international is not yet mature enough for FC Bayern . The brother of Bayern boss Karl-Heinz would instead “ stay with Bayer for another year or two ” before taking the step to become the German record champion.

In Leverkusen, the youngster could “develop best, take the next step towards becoming the absolute leader.” In the first half of the current season, you could see “that he was no longer as constant and no longer regularly top-notch He was back at the beginning of the second half of the season. ”

All in all, Rummenigge describes a move to FCB as the " next best step " - the only question is the timing.

Meanwhile, there is a lot of discussion about ghost games in the Bundesliga - the German Ultras describe such considerations as "mockery" and react with much criticism.

The switch from Ajax youngster Sergino Dest threatens to burst. The FCB is probably refraining from an obligation in the coming summer. 

FC Bayern / Kai Havertz: Transfer in summer 2020? Three possible scenarios

April 16 update: Kai Havertz  will continue to be closely associated with FC Bayern . The midfield jewel commented on the rumors of change about him on Wednesday ( see update from April 15 ). He is therefore considering several considerations. According to the image information, the following scenarios should be involved:

• Possibility 1: Havertz changes club in summer . His current club Bayer Leverkusen would collect a large transfer fee, currently demanding at least 100 million euros.
• Possibility 2: The 20-year-old will only change in 2021 . Since his contract with the Werkself is dated 2021, the German international would probably be cheaper to have.
• Possibility 3: Havertz extends in Leverkusen until 2023 and has its new contract equipped with an exit clause. A similar scenario was chosen last summer by Timo Werner, who is also in the focus of FC Bayern.

FC Bayern / Kai Havertz: Transfer in summer 2020? Talent talks about another option

Update from April 15:  While FC Bayern does not want to explicitly commit to a dream player for the offensive, international Kai Havertz is also considering several options for his professional future. This also includes a move abroad , as the Bayer Leverkusen offensive man describes: “I am ready to take a big step and I like challenges. For me, this also includes foreign countries, ”the 20-year-old told SportBild . 

The midfielder still has a contract with the Werkself until summer 2022 . Until the Corona break in the Bundesliga, a change after this season was considered likely. Although he feels comfortable in Leverkusen, it is a great club, but Havertz also says: “Of course I want to take my next step in my career at some point. That is my claim. "

Bayern Munich is also generally considered a great prospect . According to reports, the record champion, however, the target transfer fee (over 100 million euros) of the works club is too high - and that clearly.

Havertz to Bayern? Transfer negotiations apparently further than expected

Original article from April 9: FC Bayern plans the future. A future that should be shaped by trainer Hansi Flick. The FCB trainer signed on Säbener Straße until 2023 . The most important personnel has thus been clarified. But numerous question marks remain. Two names in particular are currently being hotly discussed in Munich: Timo Werner and Leroy Sané . The unequal pair of terms is apparently supposed to split those responsible at FC Bayern. Especially the extravagance of the shrill Sané should be the topic. The starving Timo Werner, whose desire for attention is limited to the sporting, is obviously the less problematic solution internally. 

Meanwhile, a resumption of the Bundesliga season from May is being discussed, but what is behind it?

Kai Havertz to Bayern? Hansi Flick apparently wants national team

Kai Havertz had recently become relatively quiet . However, the gifted kicker should continue to play a major role in the mind games of those responsible for FCB. FCB coach Hansi Flick in particular should force a change. " Flick wants Havertz, Havertz wants to go to Bayern, " says sky transfer expert Marc Behrenbeck. In his view, the chances that Havertz will change to the record champions at the end of the season are "50:50" The transfer requests from his current club Bayer Leverkusen. The Rhinelander has long known that the 20-year-old cannot be kept in the long run. That is why they want to generate as much money as possible with a transfer. Last summer, they should already have a transfer fee of 100 million euro have exclaimed. 

Kai Havertz to Bayern? Does transfer fail due to the transfer fee?

But in times of the Corona crisis, such a sum is difficult to realize. Whether the record champion would exceed his own transfer record for Havertz despite the current situation and the prevailing uncertainty is currently a blind spot even among experts. " It's not easy to see how far they would go for Havertz, " says Sky reporter Torben Hoffmann.

However, one thing is already certain for him: "Bayern will not get Sané, Werner and Havertz in the summer." Bayern would benefit from their well-filled fixed-term deposit account, but in his opinion they will not do any crazy things in Munich. 

Meanwhile, Leverkusen expert Marco Wiefel doesn't believe in a transfer of the international. " I don't expect Havertz to move to Munich this summer," he says. "It remains to be seen what the situation on the transfer market will be like," he told Sky.

Kai Havertz: Liverpool FC is also interested 

Rather, Bayer Leverkusen will probably try to extend its contract, which runs until summer 2022, by one year in advance. But does the Havertz side respond? Finally, they should also consider moving to England. Liverpool FC is considered a possible customer . The transfer jumble presents even the so-called experts with a previously unsolvable puzzle. The piece “Havertz” is also in demand among the puzzle players of numerous clubs. A forecast is therefore all the more difficult.  

At FCB there is a world champion on the siding - but there are many interested parties across Europe. Another World Cup hero meanwhile posted a child's photo. Would you have recognized him here?
