It has been reported that Manchester City are considering the possibility of wrapping up a transfer for Kai Havertz.
This comes from the Guardian, as the Champions League winner’s future at Chelsea looks like it is in serious doubt.
However, Manchester City could now make a shock move to sign Kai Havertz ahead of next season.
Manchester City considering surprise Kai Havertz transfer
During his time at Stamford Bridge, the German international has flattered to deceive, barring the odd moment of magic in three seasons.
A player that has always rated the former Bayer Leverkusen forward extremely highly is none other than Ilkay Gundogan, who claimed that in terms of natural ability, he is even better than Michael Ballack via Eurosport.
With Mateo Kovacic reportedly keen on joining Manchester City, it seems like the treble winners have also ‘looked at’ the prospect of signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea as well.
Arsenal are the ‘strong contenders’ in the race to sign the 24-year-old, while Bayern Munich are also keen on his signature.
In addition, it is claimed that Mauricio Pochettino’s men will only sell the much-maligned attacker for a hefty fee of £70 million.
Manchester City should steer clear of this move
While Kai Havertz is undoubtedly talented, one struggles to see where he fits in as a part of this Manchester City side.
For starters, there still seems to be a mystery around what Havertz’s best position is; many believe he is a false nine while others believe he would suit playing as an attacking midfielder.
The fact that a conclusion has not been reached three years into his time at Chelsea is concerning, as he has been a huge letdown at Stamford Bridge.
With the fee that has been mooted as well, it is advisable that Manchester City use their funds more wisely by looking to splash the clash elsewhere, as there would be no redeeming factors when it comes to signing Kai Havertz.
