Things could change in advance of the 2020/2021 season despite Havertz current contract running until 2022 containing no exit-clause. Leverkusen is getting ready to sell the midfielder next year and already signed successors such as Kerem Demirbay and Nadiem Amiri (TSG Hoffenheim).

The Havertz deal is said to be worth over 100 million plus the player's salary.

Havertz admitted he wants to stay for this season but intends to do the next step shortly. "That is no secret," he commented.

German media report Bayern might have a small advantage in the race but could get into trouble in case the Bavarians stick to their plan to buy Coutinho and Leroy Sane (Manchester City)

Brazilian midfielder Coutinho has joined Bayern on-loan from Barcelona for a year including a buying-option for 2020 worth 120 million.

Sane might currently be side-lined due to a severe knee injury for several months, and his intended move to Bayern Munich is postponed for the time being. Bayern was said to invest up to 120-million-euro transfer-fee to sign the German winger.

To buy Sane, Havertz and Coutinho at the same time seem to be a too heavy load for the 2013 treble winner as 350 to 400 million euros would be needed. It will be interesting to see what Bayern's next steps will be.

While Sane and Coutinho seem rather vague deals is Havertz said to be Bayern's primary target. It seems likely that Bayern is deciding to take two of the trio. Depending on Sane' recovery process, it could well be him, and Havertz Bayern is going for.
