# Liverpool fans react as Reds remain interested in Havertz

Liverpool are still interested in a summer move for Kai Havertz, according to [*Sport Bild*](https://sportbild.bild.de/), as translated by *[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/manchester-united-and-liverpool-keen-on-star-club-demand-e100m-plus-fee-for-transfer/)*.

The 20-year-old has been [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/01/15/liverpool-reportedly-readying-huge-offer-for-havertz/) with a switch to Anfield already this month, as Jurgen Klopp eyes up reinforcements.

Havertz isn’t without suitors, with the likes of [Manchester United](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/fc-bayern-in-der-300-mio-klemme-kai-havertz-leroy-san-philippe-coutinho-66787096,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html), [Bayern Munich](https://www.goal.com/en/news/there-were-a-few-phone-calls-bayern-approach-for-havertz/1v7di5tpp2nzf1ichxteaehkd6) and [Manchester City](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/fc-bayern-in-der-300-mio-klemme-kai-havertz-leroy-san-philippe-coutinho-66787096,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html) all linked in the past, too.

This latest report claims Leverkusen will only be willing to sell the Germany international for €130 million, however, which would break the record for a transfer fee at Liverpool.

Havertz is valued at £81 million (€95m) by *[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kai-havertz/profil/spieler/309400)*, but Liverpool will have to pay significantly more to get their man.

The youngster has scored [33 goals in 128 appearances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kai_Havertz#Career_statistics) for Leverkusen, also finding the net once in seven caps for Germany.

These Liverpool supporters have provided a mixed response to the news, with some taking to Twitter to state that the German is a good player, but to raise questions about the price tag and also if his arrival would lead to a departure for Gini Wijnaldum.

> This could be linked to situation with Gini, Liverpool mightn’t want to commit big wages to Gini knowing they are targeting Havertz, also funds may need to be raised for a fee this high, just my guess [https://t.co/w21i0ZWpvB](https://t.co/w21i0ZWpvB)

> I like Havertz and think Klopp would turn him into a world-beater but there is no way we will (or should) be paying €130m for an attacking midfielder who has 4 goals and 2 assists all season. [https://t.co/09oaZR6SK7](https://t.co/09oaZR6SK7)
