In-demand Havertz should stay at Leverkusen, says Rummenigge

Kai Havertz would be better off staying at Bayer Leverkusen for the time being rather than moving to a European giant, according to Michael Rummenigge.

Young German forward Havertz has been linked with numerous top European clubs including Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, although a widely expected move this summer has been thrown into question by the coronavirus pandemic.

Former Bayern and Borussia Dortmund forward Rummenigge - whose brother Karl-Heinz is chairman of the Munich club - feels the 20-year-old would benefit from another couple of years of guaranteed first-team football with Leverkusen, before moving to the biggest club in the Bundesliga.
