Nizaar Kinsella of the Evening Standard has put out a major report on the future of Kai Havertz as three clubs compete for him.
This report leads with the title “Chelsea set Kai Havertz price” before going on to reveal that he “is wanted by three different clubs” who would have to pay a minimum of £75 million for the attacker.

The Chase
The main team involved in the race for the German is Real Madrid. It is noted that the Spanish side are eyeing him as a replacement for Karim Benzema. The 23-year-old isn’t the only name on their shortlist which includes Harry Kane and Lautaro Martinez.
Los Blancos have been making moves to establish a new young core in their first team over the last few years. Players like Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and potentially Havertz could be key parts of their starting eleven for a decade to come.
Wantaway Star
Despite being the first-choice attacking option for the Blues over the past year it appears that both the 23-year-old and new manager Mauricio Pochettino are happy for a split to occur. Fabrizio Romano has reported that the player himself is open to starting a new chapter in his career after making just under 150 appearances for Chelsea.
Per Kinsella, new manager Pochettino is looking for a different striker to lead his attack. The former Bayer Leverkusen man has been hit and miss in front of the goal at Stamford Bridge, netting just 32 times in 139 games including just nine in the 2022/23 term. The Argentine will need to get his new club firing and it appears there will be a new face trusted with this task.
