With a couple key Real Madrid attackers apparently on their way out, the club have reportedly turned their attention to a certain Chelsea star.
Los Blancos are seemingly set to lose both Karim Benzema and Marco Asesnio next month, with both players' contracts with the club expiring at the end of June.

Spanish outlet Marca have now reported that Chelsea star Kai Havertz has been identified as target to help bolster the side's attack next season.
Havertz has not been able to replicate the form he showed at Bayer Leverkusen, but he has been deployed as the Blues' number nine over the past couple seasons due to their scoring troubles.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has also reported that Los Blancos have serious interest in the Germany international, who registered seven goals in 35 Premier League appearances.
Real Madrid have concrete interest in Kai Havertz. He’s one of the players in the list, really appreciated by Ancelotti. ???? #RealMadrid

Understand Chelsea are open to discuss Havertz exit but they want important fee, no way for loan & similar.

Romano claims that the German midfielder is appreciated by manager Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea are open to discussing a possible deal.

Havertz joined the Blues from Leverkusen in 2020 in a deal reportedly worth €80million and the Premier League outfit would only look to sell instead of loaning the player out.
The German has racked up 132 appearances for the Blues in the last three years and famously scored the winning goal against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final in 2021.
