According to reports, Spanish giants Real Madrid have shown interest in acquiring the services of Chelsea’s German forward Kai Havertz in the upcoming transfer window. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly looking to strengthen his team’s attacking options and sees the ex-Leverkusen player as a viable candidate.
Since joining Chelsea in 2020, the 23-year-old Kai Havertz has experienced a period of fluctuating form. Although he played a significant role in the club’s victory in the UEFA Champions League, he has struggled to maintain a consistently high level of performance in the ever-transitioning Chelsea.
Fichajes.net has reported that Real Madrid would need to pay a transfer fee of €80 million to secure Kai Havertz’s signature at the end of the season. Whether or not the club is willing to spend such an exorbitant amount of money on the player remains to be seen.
Kai Havertz was considered a world-class prospect before he arrived at Chelsea and has the potential to become a top-level player. Joining Real Madrid at this point could be a beneficial move for him.
Real Madrid currently has heavy dependence on Vinicius Junior and the aging Karim Benzema this season, with a shortage of high-quality alternatives. Havertz could potentially receive significant playing time as an option to the French striker, providing much-needed depth to the team’s attacking options.
Real Madrid can benefit from the versatility of the German player, who can play both as a central attacking midfielder and as a false nine.
Chelsea is reportedly willing to sell the player if they receive the desired transfer fee. Despite investing heavily in the squad in recent transfer windows, they still lack a dependable goal scorer.
It remains to be seen if they will use the money from selling the German to finance the acquisition of a new striker during the upcoming transfer window.
