CHELSEA and Manchester United target Kai Havertz is open to play abroad – and says he wants to join a club already competing for trophies.
The Bayer Leverkusen is a £70million target for the Premier League duo this summer after a stunning season in the Bundesliga.
He is capable of playing in midfield, in the hole and on either wing.
United are long-term admirers of Havertz, who is also believed to be a target for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
But Chelsea have now emerged as the frontrunners for his coveted signature after beating Liverpool to RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner.
The Blues and United have now received a boost after Havertz revealed in al old interview that he wants to join a club where he can immediately win silverware.
Havertz told Marca: “The team is always the priority, success is collective.
“Then, the individual [trophies] come when you play well.
“I want to win the biggest trophies during my career: Champions League, World Cup or Euros.
“I don’t think much about the individual ones.
“Bayern are probably the biggest club in Germany and there are many players that were very successful at a young age that went there.
“Therefore I get linked with Bayern but we’ll see what happens.
“There are players that want to stay close to their family and others say, ‘I want to live in another country’.
“There’s something clear: if you want to be a star in Germany, you can’t go wrong with Bayern.
“I think I’ve picked up enough international experience at Leverkusen.
“I know the rhythm of these international matches and I’m confident I can go abroad at any moment and play at clubs outside of Germany.
“For the moment, I want to have a good season. Afterwards we’ll see.
“Barcelona have a lot of the ball, but there are lots of teams that do that these days, not only Barcelona.
“Real Madrid are a team that have a of possession, although they’ve been a bit less efficient than Barcelona in recent years.”
