Bayern - who were also said to be pursuing a deal for Timo Werner - appeared to be the front runners to land Havertz' signature, but they were unable to pry him away from Leverkusen's clutches this year.

Depsite this, Havertz has hinted that he could be on the move in the near future, telling Sky in Germany (via Bulinews.com )"They [Bayern] haven't scared me off.


"I don't know exactly what it was like with Timo [Werner], but it just didn't happen for me this year. I think there were a number of reasons why.

"But I'm happy to be here and stay in Leverkusen for another year. We'll see what will happen next summer."
