Real Madrid is about to sign Kai Havertz. The Bild newspaper in Germany reports that the Chelsea striker's arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu is practically certain. The departure of Karim Benzema has made the hunt for attackers even more urgent than it was just a few hours ago.

According to German sources, the transfer of Kai Havertz may be nearing completion. Real Madrid want to finalize his arrival for roughly 70 million euros, and negotiations are currently underway. With Havertz, Real Madrid will solve two problems with one stroke of the pen: the '9' as well as the extreme right.

Chelsea need to sell quickly in order to improve their financial position, therefore Havertz is one of the favored exit choices. He cost 80 million euros to sign from Bayer Leverkusen and might go for roughly 70 million euros. Another element that has prompted Real Madrid to focus on Havertz is his age (23).
