Kai Havertz has been advised to consider his future and choose the side best for his personal development.
The 20-year-old has seen a stellar campaign with Bayer Leverkusen this term. His six goals and five assists has contributed largely to Die Werkself’s quest for European places next season.
As expected, Havertz has attracted interest from a number of European heavyweights.
Liverpool are one of the sides interested in his services. As with any German prospect out there, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also in the running. Barcelona and Chelsea have also been linked to the youngster at one point this season.
While a move to Bayern or Liverpool might seem the most attractive for Havertz on paper, fellow compatriot Jens Nowotny has advised him to carefully weigh the options in front of him.

“He is on the way to becoming a world-class player. He has huge potential,” he told Goal and Spox.
“To fulfil his potential, the next step is very, very important. He has to ask himself questions: are there clubs where he can develop if there is a possible change? Or are there only clubs where he has to arrive and function as a finished player?
“On the one hand, you need coaches like Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho, who can take him further. On the other hand, such a coach also has to work for a club where he is allowed to develop.”
“Havertz could develop at Bayern Munich, but he would have to win his chance to play first and foremost,” he added.
“That works better for some clubs than for others. For a young player, Borussia Dortmund may be better than Bayern Munich in terms of club and environment.”
