Benjamin šeško as Bayern monitor Havertz and €75 million price
benjamin šeško is the headline name here, but the sharper move is FC Bayern Munich watching Kai Havertz without turning that interest into anything concrete. Arsenal would want at least the €75 million it paid Chelsea in 2023 if it ever opened the door, while Havertz remains under contract until 2028.
Bayern watch Havertz
FC Bayern Munich are one of several top clubs monitoring Havertz's situation at Arsenal, with the Bavarians' interest still at the watching stage. Charles Watts said that the Bavarians are one of several top clubs monitoring Havertz's situation at the Gunners, and the report adds that the club has not taken the step from monitoring to action.
That leaves Bayern in a familiar holding pattern: interested, but not yet committed. The report says Arsenal would consider selling if the right offer arrived, but the size of the fee is the first obstacle, not the last. Havertz is a Germany international, and his current spell at Arsenal has not shaken off the value placed on him when he moved from Chelsea in 2023.
Arsenal set the price
The number attached to any sale is clear. Arsenal would likely demand at least €75 million, which matches what it paid Chelsea for Havertz in 2023, and that figure sits against a contract that runs to 2028.
Havertz is also sidelined with a muscle injury picked up in Arsenal's 1-0 win over Newcastle last weekend. The problem is not expected to threaten his place in Julian Nagelsmann's World Cup plans, but it does leave Bayern evaluating a player who is not fully available while it is also pushing harder for a new winger.
Bayern's winger search
Anthony Gordon is Bayern's top winger target, and Fabrizio Romano said two additional players are also on the shortlist. The Athletic has separately linked RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande with Bayern, which suggests the club's most urgent work is happening wide rather than through the middle.
That matters because Bayern are not chasing one name in isolation. If the club moves for Havertz, it would have to weigh a major fee against a player who is injured now and tied down by Arsenal through 2028, while the winger search keeps pulling attention in another direction. For now, the link is real, the price is high, and the move is still only a possibility.
