According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona aren’t looking to sign reported Liverpool target Kai Havertz despite talk of a recent bid for the youngster.
Havertz is expected to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
According to Goal, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are among top Premier League clubs keen on signing the midfielder this summer.
Leverkusen reportedly want around £80 million for Havertz who became the youngest player in Bundesliga history to score 30 goals.
Leverkusen youth coach Michael Schonweitz told Sportbuzzer the reported Liverpool target is the greatest talent he has seen.
Barcelona, meanwhile, view him as Germany’s best current young player.
But Spanish editorial Mundo Deportivo claim Barca don’t have Havertz on their list of potential signings and feel Leverkusen are using their name to raise the player’s price.
The report is good news for Liverpool if they are serious in their attempts to sign him.
The Reds will want to strengthen this summer despite their Premier League dominance this season. An attacking midfielder would be a welcome arrival.
Havertz has posted six goals and six assists since the New Year. He will be keen to replicate his form following the return of Bundesliga action after the Covid-19 suspension.
