# Liverpool hold talks with Kai Havertz’s representatives

Liverpool held talks with the representatives of German international midfielder Kai Havertz last month, according to [reports](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1227027/man-utd-transfer-news-kai-havertz-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-manchester-united).

The 20-year-old was linked with moves away from Bayer Leverkusen last yeah but he [decided](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11891/11889096/kai-havertz-liverpool-man-utd-chelsea-and-tottenham-target-to-stay-at-leverkusen) to stay with the club for one more season as he was keen to represent them in the Champions League.

However, he [reportedly](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1227027/man-utd-transfer-news-kai-havertz-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-manchester-united) held talks with both Liverpool and Manchester United last month about a possible transfer in the summer.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

With [Adam Lallana set to leave Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2019/12/31/liverpool-resigned-to-losing-lallana-next-summer/) at the end of the season, it would make sense for the Reds to be looking at other midfield options and Havertz has been a player they’ve been linked to in the past.

Lallana has featured in [17 games](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/GamesPerSeason/1273-129) for the Reds so far this season, which is already more than he played in during [both of the last two seasons](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/Profile/1273), so if he does leave, the Reds will need to find players to plug the gap left by the England international.

Curtis Jones, who scored the only goal in [Liverpool’s win over Everton](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50976228) in the FA Cup earlier this month, could be someone who steps up to play more regular first-team football, but a potential arrival of Havertz could impact his chances.

Havertz is far more experienced than Jones when it comes to playing first-team football. At the age of 20, he’s already played over [100 Bundesliga games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kai-havertz/leistungsdaten/spieler/309400/plus/0?saison=ges), whilst Jones has made just [one Premier League appearance](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/GamesPerCompetition/1322-12) so far for the Reds, although he is younger than the German.

As much as it would be great to see Jones get regular minutes for Liverpool next season, if I was given the choice of who I’d rather have in the squad between him and Havertz, I’d go for the German international and as such, I think the 20-year-old would be a worthwhile signing for the Reds if they are able to get a deal done.
