Bayern Munich new signing Leroy Sane may have confirmed Kai Havertz’s expected transfer to Chelsea today, MySportDab reports.
Leroy Sane was speaking at his first press conference as a Bayern Munich player.
The former Manchester City player was asked why German players are wanted by Premier League clubs with Timo Werner already a Chelsea player.
Sane replied: ‘I believe Germany always has very good young players. Many young stars get a chance and develop in the German Bundesliga. I think with both Werner and Havertz, two German player in one year, Chelsea did a great job.’
Bit different – Leroy Sané basically knows that Kai Havertz wants to join Chelsea. Havertz is pushing by two weeks. His contract until June 2025 is ready as said days ago. “The player is not a problem”.

Bayern Munich were previously linked with a transfer for Havertz but the signing of Leroy Sane might have changed everything.
Havertz and Sane have both represented the German national team for international matches.
However, Chelsea’s race to secure Champions League football will be determined on the final day of Premier League football.
The Blues need only a point in their match against Wolves this weekend.
