Kai Havertz is also being courted by FC Barcelona. The Catalans, however, are facing the engagement of Miralem Pjanic. The possibility of a barter deal is being discussed.
What does a player who is courted by Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea and the Bavarians do? That’s a question you can ask Kai Havertz these days, because the 20-year-old is on the cards at all these top clubs – and is under contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen until 2022.
Havertz and his management are weighing up the options, but the player has not yet made a final decision.
The Corona crisis has led to massive planning uncertainty and caution on 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.
According to information, the Catalans have agreed on a transfer with Miralem Pjanic. The 30-year-old is under contract with Juventus Turin until 2023 and is likely to cost well over 50 million euros in transfer fees. Pjanic is scheduled to play in central midfield alongside Frenkie de Jong. In the position that is predestined for Havertz. Anyway, Barca is a club in which Havertz sees himself in the best of hands.
Will right defender Emerson come as Havertz exchange?
A possible Pjanic transfer in the millions virtually rules out the possibility of Barcelona paying the EUR 100 million for the Bayer jewel. A sum that the Werkself secretly dream of. The Barca bosses are therefore considering an exchange deal between the two clubs and an additional payment for Bayer. Under other circumstances, a possible transfer from Havertz to FC Barcelona in the coming transfer window is probably ruled out.
Who could be offered as a barter deal with Barcelona?
According to information, the Leverkusen-based rights defender Emerson has been offered the chance to swap. The 21-year-old Brazilian currently plays on loan at Betis Sevilla and has a contract in Barcelona until 2024. Leverkusen is looking for a right-back and a classic striker.
Other candidates for exchange are Carles Aleñá (22/on loan to Betis Sevilla) and Marc Cucurella (21/on loan to FC Getafe).
