FC Barcelona thinks of bartering with Bayer Leverkusen for Kai Havertz

What does a player do who is being courted by Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern? That question can be asked these days by Kai Havertz, because the 20-year-old is on the list with all these top clubs – and with Bayer 04 Leverkusen until 2022 under contract.

Havertz and his management weigh the options anyway, but the player has not yet made a final decision.

The corona crisis leads to massive planning uncertainty and caution in the transfer market for almost all clubs – but now FC Barcelona is facing a top transfer that could have an impact on Havertz’s plans.

To SPORT1– The Catalans have agreed with Miralem Pjanic on a change. The 30-year-old is still under contract with Juventus Turin until 2023 and is likely to cost well over 50 million euros. For the Spaniards, Pjanic is scheduled in the central midfield, alongside Frenkie de Jong. In the position that is predestined for Havertz. In any case, Barca is a club in which Havertz sees himself as being in good hands.

Will right-back Emerson come as a Havertz exchange?

A possible Pjanic transfer in the millions almost precludes Barcelona from paying a transfer fee of EUR 100 million for the Bayer jewel. A sum the Werkself secretly dreams of. The Barca bosses are therefore considering an exchange between the two clubs and an additional transfer for Bayer. Under other circumstances, a possible change from Havertz to FC Barcelona in the upcoming transfer window is probably impossible.

In addition to Havertz, they also advertise for striker Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan). To get Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain) back, there is even a barter with Antoine Griezmann and Coutinho. Arthur is said to be offset against Pjanic.

In any case, Leverkusen’s CEO Fernando Carro is in regular contact with Barca President Josep Maria Bartomeu. Sports director Éric Abidal is also a Havertz fan and his assistant, Ramón Planes, follows Havertz SPORT1– Information has even been scouted on site in Leverkusen.

A final decision for Barcelona has not yet been made by Havertz, who is an avowed fan of the Messi team.

The German international is still planning to switch this summer. It is therefore possible that he will stay with Bayer for another year because a possible exchange transaction does not materialize or one of the top clubs mentioned is not willing to pay the transfer fee.
