Bayern rule out Havertz move

Bayern Munich have dismissed the possibility of signing Kai Havertz from Arsenal this summer, despite ongoing speculation about the German international’s future. Reports in Germany indicate that the Bavarian club do not consider Havertz a target for the upcoming transfer window, even as they look to reinforce their attacking options ahead of the new season. Instead, Bayern are pushing forward with negotiations for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, whose versatility across the front line fits the club’s recruitment strategy.

Havertz, under contract with Arsenal until 2028, is expected to remain in London under Mikel Arteta’s leadership. Journalist Christian Falk stressed that Bayern never added the forward to their shortlist and held no talks regarding a potential deal. Although Havertz has admirers in Germany following his rise at Bayer Leverkusen, concerns over his injury record and Bayern’s existing attacking depth make a move illogical. For now, the club’s focus remains firmly on securing a left‑sided attacker.
