Manchester City in contact with Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz?

Manchester City have become the latest side to register an interest in Bayer Leverkusen's rising star Kai Havertz, according to a report.

The 19-year-old broke into the Bundesliga club's first team two years ago and has become a regular since then, while also earning recognition from Germany national team boss Joachim Low.

Havertz's impressive form in the first half of the 2018-19 campaign, scoring seven times and setting up six more, has supposedly drawn attention from the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and now Man City.

Sport Bild suggests that the Citizens have been keeping a close eye on the Leverkusen academy product and were recently in contact with his representatives.

However, Havertz only signed a new four-year deal in July and is therefore unlikely to leave for anything less than £70m.
