Real Madrid register interest in Chelsea's Kai Havertz

Real Madrid reportedly have a genuine interest in landing Chelsea's Havertz as they continue their search for a central presence in their attack. 

The 23-year-old Germany international joined Chelsea in the summer of 2020, and although he has enjoyed a continued stay in the first team, he has struggled to justify his €80 million transfer fee. 

This has not deterred the Los Blancos, and they are said to be keen on a move for the attacker.  

According to transfer journalist, the record Champions League winners like the profile of Kai Havertz, and are prepared to make a move for him. 

The Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti, is said to be a big fan and has named him as an option for the striker's position. 

The UCL holders are famously in the market for a striker, a need that has intensified in recent days with the rumours of a possible Benzema exit.  

However, despite the French star dispelling the rumours, the club are said to still want a striker as they lack a proper replacement for the Ballon d'Or winner. 

Havertz has emerged as a top option, and according to the report, Chelsea are open to a sale but will only sell for a significant amount.
