Havertz signing for Real Madrid imminent: 'Bild'

A day of strong emotions at Real Madrid. On Sunday 4th June, Real Madrid made the departure of Karim Benzema official, just hours before they host Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabeu. It will be a tribute match for both him and Asensio, who will also leave the team.

Hazard and Mariano are two more departures for next season. After the Frenchman's exit, the board have not wasted time and have already set to work looking for a replacement. After Harry Kane was the best positioned, another Premier League player is being mentioned as a possible reinforcement.

This is none other than Kai Havertz, who joined Chelsea three years ago from Bayer Leverkusen. The German has not had a good season and the fact that he has not been able to play in European competitions would have made him think about a move away from the London club.

'AS' reported that the German is on Florentino Perez's shortlist, but it is now 'Bild' who confirmed that the signing is imminent. The aforementioned source assured that the agreement between the 'Merengues' and the Blues is very close to happening.

Havertz was a key player in Tuchel's Chelsea side that won the Champions League in 2021 against Manchester City. Despite not being a '9' goal scorer, he knows what it means to score goals and be in the box. 

The flurry of departures at Real Madrid only suggests one thing: that others will arrive. The German is tipped to join Real Madrid next season and continue to enjoy playing in the Champions League.
