The club posted a photo montage of the mega talent in the dress of the first division club. But is Havertz actually drawn to the Eredivisie by surprise ? Hardly likely. The trigger for the whole confusion was Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz . At the press conference after the Europa League bankruptcy against Inter Milan , the 56-year-old allowed himself a joke. He announced: “I can tell you that Kai Havertz will play for Heracles Almelo next year.” He didn't move a mile. The journalist who asked about the future of Havertz broke out in laughter. Bosz himself coached Heracles twice (2004-2006 and 2010-2013).

Kai Havertz to Holland? Middle-class club reports transfer to Bosz-Witz as fixed

The Dutch social media department gratefully accepted the story and found a suitable answer: the "change" was reported as fixed. " Welkom Kai " said the tweet. The table eighth of the past Eredivisie season will know best that a player of the Havertz caliber is unlikely to switch to them. However, the fans had a lot of fun with it. “That's someone for the squad width,” jokes one user. “Finally a traditional club,” teased another fan.

Update from August 9, 12.40 p.m.: For a long time it was quiet about Leverkusen's jewel Kai Havertz and his alleged transfer target FC Chelsea. After the missed entry into the Champions League final tournament * there now seems to be news from England , while Leverkusen are preparing for the upcoming Europa League quarter-finals * against Inter Milan.

Havertz probably agrees to a five-year contract - will the British meet Völler's mega-million demand?

As the French broadcaster RMC Sport reports, Havertz is said to have already agreed on a five-year contract with the Londoners. As RMC journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi writes, only the staggering of payments will be decided in the coming days. Leverkusen demanded a three-digit million transfer fee , while the fourth of the previous season in the Premier League * wants to push the price.

“ Kai is focused and very motivated, he wants to play football and achieve something with us. We have the chance, ”said Bayer coach Peter Bosz to Bild am Sonntag regarding the international interest in the 21-year-old. Sport manager Rudi Völler knows “that a few clubs are interested, especially Chelsea, but for us the situation is very simple: he still has a two-year contract. If someone wants him, then only according to our conditions , otherwise he'll stay for another year and we'll be happy. ”There would be“ no Covid discount ”for an“ artist like him, ”Völler told Gazetta dello Sport .

The star newcomer of FC Bayern Leroy Sané probably unintentionally revealed the mega-transfer of the summer at the press conference for his presentation. "With Timo Werner and Kai Havertz ", "two Germans switched to Chelsea in one year", Sané said casually. “Chelsea did a good job. There is no question that Germany has good youth work, ”added the 24-year-old. In the first sentence it sounds as if Sané is already certain about the transfer of the top talent. So does Sané know more?

Allegedly there is a sum of around 100 million euros for the services of the midfield ace in the room. The transfer of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig had Chelsea handled well below market value. However, Leverkusen's sports director Rudi Völler leaked that he would not deviate from his three-digit million demand . In the event of a transfer, it is therefore quite possible that the Leverkusen wishes have been fulfilled (update from July 21).

On the last day of the Premier League, Chelsea made the qualification for the Champions League perfect - a Havertz change is now even more likely. The young national player himself caused euphoria among the blues fans with an Instagram like.

Apparently, Chelsea's league rival Manchester United can also look forward to a Bundesliga export - is Ivan Perisic drawn to the island *? Meanwhile, a Gladbach fan created a brilliant TV moment * when he didn't want to talk about an arch rival. But it was not about Leverkusen and Havertz.

Havertz-Poker: Chelsea boss gets serious - Will Völler's mega-demand be met?

Update from July 21, 12:45 p.m.:  A change from Bayer Leverkusen's top talent Kai Havertz seems to be almost inevitable this summer. The 21-year-old is said to be courted by the Premier League team * Chelsea FC and could soon play for the Londoners . The talks between the club and the players should take place promptly.

As the image reports based on a report by The Athletic (article behind the payment barrier), the transfer should now enter the decisive phase. According to information from the picture , the British will be in contact with Leverkusen sports director Rudi Völler in the coming days . The 1990 World Champion will have to negotiate with Chelsea board member Marina Granovskaia .

The Russian-Canadian confidante of Chelsea owner and billionaire Roman Abramowitsch is considered a tough negotiating partner and is considered one of the most powerful women in the global football network. As the German newspaper reports, the Londoners have given the transfer of the young national player top priority.

But Völler will not care who shows up for the negotiation, as long as his demands are met. The Leverkusen manager remains: He wants no less than 100 million euros for Kai Havertz, the set price should not be undercut under any circumstances. 

In England again there is talk of an 80 million deal . The Bild also reported a deal in which 70 million euros would be paid immediately, and another 30 million euros could subsequently go to the Werkself in the form of success bonuses .

Chelsea are closing in on the € 80m signing of Kai Havertz, according to the Athletic, with personal terms all but agreed and the player keen on the move 💙 pic.twitter.com/TDU5ztcYhi

Völler's problem with transfer poker seems to be the lack of competition in the important phase, as many clubs cannot or do not want to make transfers that are too large due to the corona crisis. Real Madrid club boss even announced that there would be no big transfers in the summer. Manchester United seems to prefer to invest in BVB's Jadon Sancho from England .

But Havertz is still a Leverkusen player and will probably participate regularly in the preparation for the Europa League final round * . The second leg against Glasgow Rangers is on August 6th . If Havertz does not injure himself badly in the small European Cup, there will probably be a change at the end of the season.

Update from July 16, 2020, 11:45 a.m.:  For months there has been speculation about a transfer of the Leverkusen * jewel Kai Havertz , because many top clubs showed interest in the 21-year-old. As the kicker reports, the national player should definitely have made a decision. Havertz would like to leave the Werkself this summer and take the next step in his career .

For the coming season, the technically skilled midfielder could already play in a top European league, the Premier League * seems to be a target for Havertz within reach. According to the kicker report, there are signs of a move to Chelsea , Havertz is said to have already decided on the London club.

The Russian owner of the club Roman Abramovich would enable Chelsea financially to sign the DFB player this summer. The new Chelsea team, which is currently being put together from young players, would also go well with the flexible Havertz from a sporting point of view. Leipzig's Timo Werner has already moved to Stamford Bridge , national team colleague Antonio Rüdiger is also waiting there.

Since the top English clubs are absolutely financially strong, Leverkusen * should also receive its required three-digit million amount for the exceptional kicker in the event of a transfer this summer . A previously made agreement with Havertz would allow the transfer, as the Leverkusen-based expectations could be met with a transfer to Chelsea . The 21-year-old's contract has no exit clause , which is why he should switch for a corresponding amount before the end of the contract in 2022 .

Despite the economic crisis in the wake of the pandemic, Leverkusen does not want to change anything about the required amount. "There is no corona discount," said Bayer managing director Rudi Völler on Wednesday, but whether the hundred million euros will ultimately be paid remains to be seen. In the case of Leroy Sane's transfer to FC Bayern , the original price was almost halved.

The only condition for a transfer in the current transition period would be that Havertz play the Europa League final tournament * in North Rhine-Westphalia at Bayer Leverkusen * until August.

Update from July 8, 2020, 2:02 p.m.: While Kai Havertz wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen, Lionel Messi is also allegedly playing with the idea of turning his back on FC Barcelona . How realistic would Bayern be as a new club? 

Update from July 8, 2020, 12.15 p.m.:  Anyone who took a close look at Kai Havertz after the cup final between FC Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen probably already suspected it: the shooting star is no longer up for the trophies seen from afar. He wants to lift them up and write history himself. With Vizekusen (the association has actually patented this term) Kai Havertz will not grab it.

As the picture reports, the midfielder would like to leave the Werkself this summer. It is said that he will shortly ask the Bayer bosses for his release. But where is it going then? According to the picture, at least one club should be ready to pay the 100 million euros demanded by Leverkusen - Chelsea FC !

Bayer would probably not put any obstacles in Havertz's way, but insists on this transfer fee. As Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently made clear, a transfer of the national player this summer is not possible for Munich. The blues could pay despite Corona, but probably not in one piece. So it means that Havertz would have to be financed in installments. There is talk of 70 million euros immediate payment and 30 to 40 million as a look-up. Condition: Chelsea would have to reach the Champions League (draw for the quarter and semi-finals here in the live ticker).

Even Real Madrid had been traded again and again as an interested party, but did well in the poker game over for Corona until 2021 Havertz enter. The snaps Chelsea so the next Germans? Havertz would then be another player that Bayern had on the list and who ultimately landed or stayed in London: Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi send their regards.

On Friday, Leverkusen will first look in the direction of Nyon: The Europa League draw can be found here in the live ticker. 

Kai Havertz: Will FC Bayern lose out against a top club?

Update from July 5, 2020: The big cup surprise did not materialize on Saturday evening. The Bayern were not to stop on the way to double - not from Leverkusen and not the unremarkable playing Kai Havertz . 

The top talent, chased by numerous top clubs, was able to end the game with a remarkable penalty - otherwise there wasn't much to see from the game designer. Only 44 ball actions with a duel rate of 44 percent speak for themselves. 

However, this achievement will not detract from his status as an object of desire in this transfer summer *. And so you can hear from England that with Chelsea, a top club from the Premier League now wants to get serious and secure the services of the 21-year-old. As the “Telegraph” reports, the “Blues” are very interested in Havertz and want to bring the next German star to the island after Timo Werner . 

The "Bild am Sonntag" wants to know that the interest on the part of Chelsea is not superficial - apparently they are actually seriously concerned with a transfer in London. However, an offer has not yet been submitted. As before, Leverkusen insists on a three-digit million amount as a transfer for Havertz . As is well known, this tough negotiating position has already prompted FC Bayern to get out of poker for Havertz - at least when it comes to a commitment in this summer transfer window. 

The “Bams” also want to know that the Havertz camp and Leverkusen will get together after the cup final to discuss how to proceed. The transfer theater around Havertz seems far from over. 

Update from July 4th:  In the past few weeks there have been numerous rumors about the departure of Leverkusen's Kai Havertz , and there has been speculation about a move to England. After FC Bayern * clearly refrained from signing this summer, a transfer abroad is more likely. Havertz 'team-mate Wendell now commented on the Havertz rumors, sports director Rudi Völler revealed an exciting detail about Havertz's contract situation.

The Brazilian told the British Sun the dream destination of the 21-year-old national team member . When asked about the Premier League, Wendell said : “I think Kai dreams of playing there. He has the wish and I think if he decides to play in England it will be a success ”.

Wendell is convinced of the abilities of his talented teammate and continued: “Germans are very focused people. They are very focused on what they want. If he goes to the Premier League , he will learn a lot. ”Recently there were isolated transfer rumors about a move to Chelsea, where two colleagues from the DFB team, Timo Werner and Antonio Rüdiger , would be waiting for Havertz.

But the Leverkusen * sports director Rudi Völler  wants to keep Havertz, and there is “nothing specific, nothing to report”. The 1990 world champion revealed in a picture- talk with Marcel Reif: "We have an agreement : If it fits, he can also go this summer." This season, the talent was on the field in 42 games, where he scored 16 times and prepared nine more hits.
