Kai Havertz (AM) Bayern Munich will move for KH if the option on Philippe Coutinho not taken up - which it won't be. However, Bayern value the player at €50M less than the original €130M asking price - which has dropped to a still significant €100M minimum with no guarantee that Bayer Leverkusen will sell at all. In terms of interest from elsewhere, Barcelona were keen assuming Coutinho leaves, but have other prioritiues and financial issues. Manchester City viewed him as a David Silva replacement but have moved on. KH was first choice for Juventus but interest has moved on to others - and they are looking to horse trade. Interest of Milan will not go anywhere. Dortmund and PSG have both certainly spoken with his agent but neither seem keen enough at the asking price and will press ahead with other preferences. Manchester United opting for Bruno Fernandes will likely take them out of the picture and they need to resolve the issue with Pogba and replacing him and getting Sanchez off the books - and it won't be Havertz or Sancho - so they could end up having to make several very high end purchases - but they remain keen and need to prioritorise. Even with Chelsea opting for Ziyech, they have spoken with Bayer Leverkusen and will return with an interesting proposal after losing out on another target. Real Madrid have other priorities and have signed an alternative already - it is unlikely their funds will stretch to KH this summer so they propose a deal like Nobby Keita where the transfer is agreed for next summer at a fixed fee with a deposit paid now and the player staying another year in Germany - but the deposit might well be in the form of a player or two and that may not satisfy Bayer Leverkusen. Whether Liverpool wish to throw their hat in to the ring is another matter but they are not going to be able to fund a move this summer without a major sale. There may be a real push for him to spend one more year at BL regardless of all of the strong interest, as they have already signed a replacement to the club, but he is still inexperienced and learning. That would suit Bayern Munich - but they expect to be pressed in to making the signing this summer which does not ideally suit them with Sane still being thrashed out.

Thanks Ed02.

cheers for the copy&paste - assume the one we've missed out on is Sancho?
