Kai Havertz is reportedly facing a ‘uncertain’ future at Chelsea, with the Germany international possibly leaving the club during the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old joined the Blues from Bayer Leverkusen in September 2020, and he has made 119 appearances for the club, scoring 29 goals and assisting on 15 others.
Havertz has six goals and one assist in 27 club appearances this season, and he has been a key player for the club since Graham Potter’s arrival as head coach.
The German still has more than two years left on the contract he signed upon his arrival, but there is currently speculation about his future in the English capital.
According to Sky Deutschland Journalist Florian Plettenberg, a lack of Champions League football at Chelsea next season could lead to Havertz leaving this summer.
Plettenberg believes the forward could leave for around €60m (£52.8m), with Bayern Munich long-term admirers of the former Leverkusen youngster.
“News #Havertz: His future at #CFC is uncertain! His departure in summer is possible. Decisive months could be May or June. Champions League next season is crucial for him. Price tag around €60m with possible bonus payments included,” the journalist wrote on his official Twitter account.

Chelsea are currently 10th in the Premier League table, 10 points behind the top four, but they could qualify for next season’s Champions League if they win the European Cup this season.
Due to the club’s extravagant spending in the previous two transfer windows, they will be under pressure to make some significant sales during the summer market.
Havertz had 46 goals and 31 assists in 150 matches for Leverkusen before joining Chelsea. He also scored 12 goals and 11 assists in 33 appearances for Germany.
