Manchester City at also Interested in Kai Havertz

Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz is of interest to pretty much every top club in Europe, but now Manchester City are part of the race, says The Sun.

Havertz, 20, is valued at around €100 million with Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Liverpool and Barcelona seemingly most keen.

City will be looking to replace David Silva , 34, who will leave the club when his contract expires in the summer. Young Phil Foden has been tipped for the job, so it will be interesting to see what happens to his career if they choose to sign Havertz.

However, former Leverkusen, Man United and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov believes the German should wait a bit longer before moving.

"I would like to see Havertz in the Premier League at some point, but not right now," he told Betfair. "I think it is a bit too early for him, I want to see him play more games, score more goals and get more confidence and maturity.

"I also think he will need a bit more muscle to play in the Premier League, we all know how defenders can squash you and smash you into pieces and you need to be ready for that if you are going to hit the ground running in such a demanding league. I think he should stay at Leverkusen and develop even more and get that experience which will help him for when the time comes to go somewhere else."
