With refurbishments anticipated at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, Real Madrid is allegedly interested in acquiring Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz. Karim Benzema’s departure from Real Madrid later this month is now a given, thus finding a successor will be a major priority during the summer transfer window.The Frenchman has been replaced, and a number of names have been floated, with Harry Kane allegedly Carlo Ancelotti’s top pick.
Real Madrid may attempt to take advantage of Chelsea’s need to sell in order to comply with Financial Fair Play rules, and Bild (via Diario AS) has reported that Los Blancos are aiming to sign the German international within the next few weeks.
Real Madrid target Kane as Karim Bezema’s replacement, Spurs’ unwillingness to entertain Premier League clubs could help
Although the precise amount of Real Madrid’s “mega-offer” for Havertz is yet unknown. The 23-year-old has primarily played as a number 9 for Chelsea, but he can also play as a second striker, so it seems like plans to buy him are moving forward.
The 23-year-old has had a hit-and-miss season, scoring nine goals in 47 games for the Blues thus far. However, it has been a season to forget for everyone connected to the west London club with three managers, their lowest-ever Premier League points total, and finishes of 44 and 12.
The 23-year-old has failed to have a significant effect since signing from Bayer Leverkusen in September 2020, scoring 32 goals and dishing out 15 assists in 139 games. Consistency has been his biggest problem. However, there have been moments of greatness displayed, such as when Havertz scored the decisive goal for Chelsea against Manchester City in the Champions League two years ago.

Mauricio Pochettino, , has already been named Chelsea’s new manager and made his first significant choice by declining to make Joao Felix’s loan from Atletico Madrid permanent. Over the summer, a similar choice regarding Havertz may be made. Harry Kane may also be targeted by Real Madrid, even if they pursue Havertz, since Ancelotti’s team appears to be in need of a major change this summer.
