FC Bayern sets the course for the future. After the Munich team had already expanded with coach Hansi Flick, Thomas Müller followed him on Tuesday. Both could be signs for Bayern players whose contracts expire next year. But does Müller’s signature have an impact on possible new signings until 2023 and especially for the future of Kai Havertz?
“Flick wants Havertz, Havertz wants to go to Bayern, it all depends on the financial end,” he says. Sky transfer expert Marc Behrenbeck, who sees the chances of Havertz moving to Munich in the summer at “50:50”.
Sky Sport illuminates the situation and explains why and what speaks against the transfer of the international.
Coach’s question in Munich has been resolved
Havertz really wants to change in the summer. The question of which coach he will meet plays a crucial role for him. In Munich, the coaching staff is now licensed until 2023. Flick thinks big of Havertz and is a coach who is very good at dealing with young players. The 20-year-old is one of the most talented offensive players and has already demonstrated his skills at the European level and on the national team. In Munich he could take the next step in development under Flick.
In Leverkusen, those responsible know that they cannot keep Havertz in the long run. So for the Rhinelander it’s about generating the highest possible transfer fee. For 100 million or more, Bayer bosses could take the loss of their best player and sign new players. But behind such a high sum there is a large question mark in times of the Corona crisis.
Money is the crux of the matter.
In the end, a transfer of this size is always a matter of money. The Bavarians do not want to let Havertz, to put it casually, go through the rags. However, it is clear that the Leverkusen-based company will not be required to do so at any cost.
“It is not easy to see how far they would go for Havertz,” said Bayern reporter Torben Hoffmann.
A place in the middle would be free
After the extension with Müller, the reinforcement for the midfield central position next summer in Munich is not the highest priority. However, it is crucial for Havertz that he plays regularly at his new club. Hardly anyone in Munich has this guarantee, but Havertz does not exactly reproduce the Müller extension.
However, Philippe Coutinho will leave Bavaria after his loan. Corentin Tolisso is also saying goodbye, even if the Frenchman is more defensive than Müller or Havertz. Leon Goretzka is more of a box-to-box player and therefore would not compete directly with Havertz. Therefore, a position would still be free in Bayern’s midfield, also because Müller is also a backup for Serge Gnabry on the right wing and could also play in the middle of the storm.
“Bayern will not do crazy things”
Munich’s priority, in addition to finding a reinforcement for the defense, is on the wing. Or in terms of Timo Werner or Leroy Sane. In addition, so far there was no specific offer. Bayern have only had two exchanges with Leverkusen in the past two months due to Havertz.

“Bayern will not have Sane, Werner and Havertz in the summer,” believes Hoffmann, “even the thesis that Bayern will get two of these three players would be bold.” Bayern would benefit from their well-filled fixed-term deposit account, “but despite the reservations, they won’t do anything crazy.”
Leverkusen expert believes in extension
Market values fell due to the crown crisis. The € 100 million or more that Leverkusen could have hoped for last summer cannot currently be realized, rather between € 70 and € 85 million.
“I don’t expect Havertz to move to Munich this summer,” said Leverkusen expert Marco Wiefel. “It remains to be seen what the situation will be like in the transfer market.”
Bayer Leverkusen would prefer to try to renew the contract with Havertz, which will run until the summer of 2022, again (for one year). After Sky Havertz’s website could also envision switching to the English Premier League. Liverpool FC is considered a potential prospect.
Where is the future of Kai Havertz? In Leverkusen, Munich or at least in Liverpool? In Corona’s time, the forecast is more than difficult. It all depends on development in the coming weeks.
