Chelsea forward Kai Havertz is well liked by Spanish club Real Madrid, according to Spanish media outlet AS via Metro.co.uk.

The report on Metro.co.uk states: “Havertz is well-liked at Real Madrid and has been since his days at Bayer Leverkusen when he was linked with a move to the Spanish capital before heading to west London.

“It has hardly been an unqualified success for the Germany international at Stamford Bridge since arriving in 2020, scoring 32 goals in 128 appearances in all competitions so far for the Blues.

“Havertz, also 23, may have admirers at Real Madrid, but a summer move does not seem that likely.”

Reece James is another Chelsea player that’s very much admired by Real Madrid, but his links with the club died down after he signed a new long-term contract with Chelsea.
