The record transfer of national player Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea is perfect. The Rhinelander announced on Friday night (September 4, 2020).
According to media reports, the 21-year-old’s move should bring Leverkusen 100 million euros, making the midfielder the most expensive German footballer in history. Havertz signed a five-year contract with the Blues.
“You don’t get rid of that with a change of shirt”
On his departure from Leverkusen, the midfield manager says: “I’ve been here for so long and I’ve experienced wonderful things with so many people. You don’t just change your shirt. But now I see that the time has come to start something new.” And I’m looking forward to that too. “
Those in charge of the Werkself had repeatedly emphasized that they would not give a crown discount and would only let their main star go for an offer above the 100 million mark.
Völler: “Already world class”
“Kai played for us for ten years, four of them on our licensed team. During this time he became a national player for us and has already achieved outstanding results despite his youth,” said Bayer Sporting Director Rudi Völler.
Havertz “is already world class, undoubtedly one of the best who have played for Bayer. In the coming years, Kai will also show what a great footballer he is in the extremely demanding English league.”
Dropped by the national team
The offensive jewel left the national team prematurely on Friday for a medical checkup with the 2012 Champions League winner. Havertz replaces future teammate and national team colleague Timo Werner as the most expensive German footballer in just a few weeks. .
Werner switched from RB Leipzig to Chelsea in early July thanks to a € 53 million buyout clause. Almost all the best European clubs around Bayern Munich or Real Madrid were interested in Leverkusen’s shooting star, but were ultimately put off by the Rhinelander’s transfer request, save for the blues.
