Chelsea star Kai Havertz has been closely linked with a return to Germany at Bayern Munich following a mixed spell in England since his 2020 transfer. Those rumours grew significant traction after Havertz's own comments during his two-week spell with the German national team on a possible move back to his home country that left Chelsea fans surprised.
"Bayern are generally a huge club that it's hard to say no to as a German player," the 23-year-old said, speaking to Sport Bild. "But my personal goal has always been to play abroad at some point. In England or Spain." Following on from that major transfer hint, Chelsea released on exclusive interview on their club website with Havertz, prior to their defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, which seemed to set the record straight.
"After bad times you’re going to see the sun again," he said. "Of course we lost some times, our table position is bad, but the fans can be excited for the next few months and years, and everything that happens, because we have bought some good-quality players and they are going to achieve some big things here."
