Manchester City wanted him, the unexpected destination for Kai Havertz in the Premier League

Manchester City recently closed one of the most important seasons in their history. The club won the treble and the UEFA Champions League, but now, they are looking to continue their dominance considering that they may have to deal with some casualties for the next season. Therefore, they are looking for new profiles to reinforce the team and surprisingly, the decision of one of them.

Linked to Real Madrid in recent weeks, the future of Kai Havertz is in no doubt. The Chelsea striker will leave Stamford Bridge, but he will not have to pack his bags. The German has chosen Arsenal, another London team, to continue his short but successful career.

Kai Havertz has made his choice. After a successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea opted for the German playmaker, paying €80 million for the young player. Although he never quite fit in perfectly, Havertz made Blue history by scoring the only goal in the Champions League final against Manchester City in 2021.

Why did Havertz reject Manchester City?

The German footballer arrives at a club where he can play a leading role, unlike Manchester City, which has to fight hard for a place. Thus, as Florian Plettenberg points out, the Teutonic international has chosen Arsenal to continue his career. But according to the Sky journalist, the Gunners will have to convince Chelsea, who are still asking for around €80 million to let Havertz leave.
