Heracles Almelo have jokingly announced the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz after Peter Bosz claimed he was joining the Dutch club following their Europa League exit.
Leverkusen’s European campaign came to an end against Inter on Monday night as they were beaten 2-1 by the Serie A side in Dusseldorf.
Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku had given Inter a commanding lead inside 21 minutes, before Havertz reduced the deficit three minutes later.
According to Goal, Chelsea are keen on signing the 21-year-old although Leverkusen have warned that their star man will only be sold if the Blues pay their asking price.
And Bosz was asked whether the Germany international had played his final match for the club in a post-match press conference following his side’s defeat to Antonio Conte’s Inter.
He said: “Yes, I can exclusively announce he’ll play for Heracles Almelo.”
And following Bosz’s declaration, Heracles were quick to post a joke announcement that revealed that they had signed the forward.
Welkom Kai ?
