da dobrowin： Chelsea are amongst those interested in snapping up German star Kai Havertz this summer, but could face serious competition from Bayern Munich.
da bet nacional： According to Kicker (via Express), Liverpool are looking to sign Thiago Alcantara from the Bundesliga champions, which could change their stance on acquiring Havertz. Bayern are in the running alongside the Blues and Manchester United but financial uncertainty could see them pull out of the race for the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker.
After Liverpool lost out on signing Timo Werner earlier this month, they could be looking elsewhere to help bolster their squad. Their links to Thiago could give the German side a huge boost in their race to sign Havertz from their Bundesliga rivals.
The midfielder would reportedly command a fee of something between £54million and £72million, which will contribute massively to Leverkusen’s mammoth asking price.
Havertz has been valued at £90m, which is mega money in the current financial climate. However, Liverpool could be handing Bayern a huge boost by taking Thiago off their hands.
It seems Chelsea are confident in their bank balance as talks surrounding a move for Havertz accelerate. They have already shelled out for Werner and Hakim Ziyech, meaning Frank Lampard is not afraid of utilising the club’s funds in order to give them the best chance at success next season.
However, Bayern could be an attractive destination for Havertz as it will see him stay in his home country. If Liverpool complete the signing of Thiago, the Blues need to be fast and smart with their approach to getting their man. If they dawdle, they could miss out on bringing in an exceptional young talent.
