Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Real Madrid.
According to a report by Defensa Central, Los Blancos are reportedly keen on acquiring the services of the 23-year-old attacker.
The Spanish champions are currently in search of more attacking options, and Havertz has caught their attention. However, the Germany international has struggled to meet expectations since his high-priced transfer to Stamford Bridge. Despite his crucial goal in the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester City, Havertz has not been able to maintain a consistent performance level.
Havertz has mostly been utilised as a striker, but it is evident that he is not a prolific goalscorer.
The Blues may need to acquire a reliable goal scorer, which could mean selling a player like Havertz to bolster their transfer budget. Manchester City are also reportedly interested in the midfielder.
Havertz was once considered a world-class talent in the Bundesliga, with the potential to become a superstar, but his time at Stamford Bridge has not lived up to those expectations.
A move away from London may be what Havertz needs to regain his confidence and form. A fresh start at the Spanish capital could provide him with this opportunity.
Havertz could be a valuable addition to Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking lineup at Madrid.
