Peter Bosz has jokingly reacted to the speculation that Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Harvetz has played his last match for the club after they were beaten 2-1 by Inter Milan in the Europa League quarter-final on Monday night.

The Germany international is heavily linked with a move to Premier League giants Chelsea, with latest reports claiming that Havertz has agreed personal terms with Frank Lampard’s side.

With Germany teammates Timo Werner and Antonio Rüdiger already on the books, it looks like a suitable fit for the 21-year-old.

Losing Havertz, who has been at the club since the age of 11, would be a massive blow for Leverkusen and Bosz.

Kai Havertz finished Leverkusen’s season wearing the captain’s armband and with a goal to his name. But his side’s 2-1 loss to Inter Milan at the quarterfinal stage could signal an end to his time at the Bundesliga club.

After the match, Bosz was asked if Chelsea transfer target Havertz has played his final game with Bayer Leverkusen and replied with a joke.

“Yes, I can exclusively announce he’ll play for Heracles Almelo!”

It was a lackluster first-half performance which sealed Leverkusen’s exit as they were sluggish in possession and failed to press their opponents effectively.

Goals to Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku were enough to seal victory for the Italian club and they could even have won more handsomely with a number of spurned opportunities.

For Havertz it was a frustrating night, despite scoring to bring the score back to 2-1. He was inches from connecting with a Leon Bailey cross in the second half as Leverkusen fought hard, but based on the 90 minutes Inter Milan were far the superior team.
