Kai Havertz has been facing the immense pressure of fulfilling his considerable transfer fee. It has been almost three years since the 23-year-old starlet started playing for Chelsea FC. In a recent interview, he discussed the issue his 88 million USD transfer fee is exerting on him.

He talked about how the club thinks he is a prime Lionel Messi because the 88 million USD transfer fee is a heavy tag on the starlet who has only played 82 matches in the Premier League.

He also talked about the sign of relief that was UCL 2021. Chelsea won the title under a new manager. Among other things, the young star also talked about his favorite animal. Which turned out to be a donkey. Now, this part is what grabbed the attention of most of Twitter.

Kai Havertz about donkeys

Talking about his favorite animal in an interview with the Guardian Havertz said, “From day 1, I felt a special relationship with donkeys. It’s a very calm animal: maybe I personalized myself in them because I’m calm too. Donkey’s chill all day, don’t do much, just want to live their life. I loved them always.” Here is how fans reacted to this statement by Chelsea’s young star.

Given the fact that Havertz talked about donkeys to a great length. Fans had all kinds of reactions. Few were confused, a few agreed with the point he made and the rest obviously trolled him. Even with the overwhelming signings made by Todd Boehly, Chelsea seems to be struggling. The team has been sitting in the 10th spot despite the best efforts from the management.

I don’t understand how so much money is paid but it is normal in football: look at our recent transfers. That brings pressure because people think you are Messi. I was still 20, 21. People don’t see that; they see the price so you have to be great from day one.”
