Reports | Bayern Munich looking at Chelsea’s Kai Havertz to replace Robert Lewandowski

After spending most of the summer window embroiled in a transfer saga over Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich eventually sold the 33-year-old forward to Barcelona. However, that came only after the club signed Sadio Mane and while the former Liverpool star has gotten off to a fine start, reports have indicated that the Bavarians are still looking at offensive options. They have also, reportedly, created a shortlist with Harry Kane at the top of the list although no move for the Englishman has taken place.

But it’s the 23-year-old’s performances in Germany that have piqued Bayern’s interest as the German contributed to 51 goals in 118 Bundesliga appearances. However, Sport1 has further reported that Chelsea might be unwilling to part with Havertz especially having already let Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner leave this summer. Despite that, Bayern are confident they can get a deal done as they believe the Blues have bigger targets in mind and could fund those moves with Havertz’s departure.
