Kai Havertz is an unlikely addition to the Bundesliga this summer.
A report circulated by BBC Sport will no doubt have raised eyebrows amongst Arsenal fans, with the reputable outlet claiming that German clubs are keeping tabs on the 26-year-old.
This follows a difficult end to the striker’s 2024/25 campaign, as Havertz suffered a hamstring injury back in February.
The German international has since reported back for pre-season training ahead of the upcoming season.

Despite such reports, it would appear that a return to the Bundesliga for the former Bayer Leverkusen gem is not on the cards.
The simple reason being that clubs outside of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund can’t afford Havertz.
“No Bundesliga side, as far as I’ve heard, wants to sign the player. I can say, quite confidently, that it would be difficult for most Bundesliga clubs to afford to pay him,” Christian Falk exclusively informed CaughtOffside.
“So, if Dortmund and Bayern aren’t knocking, other alternatives aren’t realistic.”
Prior to incurring his injury, the forward had registered 20 goal contributions in all competitions – the total he ended on for the 2024/25 season.

“So, there’s nothing serious to talk about regarding a potential transfer away from the Premier League.”
