Kai Havertz will have ‘cursed a hundred times’ that he chose Chelsea over Bayer Munich this summer.
That’s according to SportBILD journalist Raimund Hinko, who believes the Blues midfielder is ruing the decision to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Havertz, of course, joined Chelsea in a £72m deal from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, having been courted by all of Europe’s top clubs following several impressive seasons with the German side.
His career with his new club started brightly but has quickly tailed off, with the midfielder currently struggling for form and fitness.
The latter is due to testing positive for Coronavirus earlier this year, with the German star still struggling as a result of the illness.
He’s currently gone seven Premier League games without a goal or assist for Chelsea, a run of form that’s seen him sitting on the bench and receiving lots of criticism to boot.
This hasn’t gone unnoticed back in his homeland, and Hinko believes the player will be ruing his decision to turn down interest from Bayern Munich.
“Kai Havertz, even if he doesn’t say it out loud, will have already cursed a hundred times that he moved from Leverkusen to the midfield bores of Chelsea, following the lure of money,” he writes.
“Everything went to pieces. No celebrating Christmas, far away from his family, trapped on the island, not even strumming a few contemplative songs on his piano.
“Instead, watching from the draughty bench against bottom-of-the-table Arsenal in a 3-1 defeat. Then substituted for the last quarter of an hour.
“A kind of mercy killing. The maximum punishment for such a great talent.
“Havertz will have kicked himself often enough for not returning Bayern’s interest more vehemently as long as coach Hansi Flick was still interested in him.”
