Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes claims he's not surprised by recent statements from Kai Havertz, who has told Sport Bild that he feels 'ready to take a big step' and that he could see himself playing abroad.

"It's a logical development that Kai will leave Leverkusen at some point," Rolfes told Bild and continued:

"I'm not surprised that he's attracted to other countries. We know he feels very comfortable here. We are in constant communication with Kai - it's all very open and transparent."

Havertz's contract with Leverkusen runs until 2022. He has been linked with the likes of Bayern München, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool.
