# Liverpool target Havertz to stay put at Bayer Leverkusen

Kai Havertz is set to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for the remainder of the season, acting as a potential blow to the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.

The 20-year-old is being monitored by some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with many seeing him as the future of German football.

The Reds have been tipped to make a move for Havertz, with a January transfer not completely ruled out.

The midfielder has pledged his future to Leverkusen for the rest of the campaign, however, according to [https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11891/11889096/kai-havertz-liverpool-man-utd-chelsea-and-tottenham-target-to-stay-at-leverkusen](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11891/11889096/kai-havertz-liverpool-man-utd-chelsea-and-tottenham-target-to-stay-at-leverkusen)*[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11891/11889096/kai-havertz-liverpool-man-utd-chelsea-and-tottenham-target-to-stay-at-leverkusen)*.

Chelsea and Tottenham are also seen as possible destinations for Havertz in the future, in what looks set to be a real battle for his signature.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

A summer exit always felt more likely for Havertz, in truth, so this doesn’t act as too much of a blow for Liverpool.

It seems highly likely that the youngster will look for a fresh challenge in 2020/21, as he looks to take his game to the next level.

If the Reds manage to get a deal over the line for the [£81 million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kai-havertz/profil/spieler/309400) star, it would be an outstanding piece of business.
