According to a recent report by Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are interested in securing the signature of Bayer 04 Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz but will face stiff competition from their rivals Barcelona in pursuit of the player. However, the Bundesliga side are demanding a fee not less than €100m for their prized asset and so it won’t be easy to strike a deal for the German playmaker (via Mundo Deportivo).
Does Zidane Need Havertz At The Spanish Capital?
The Aachen-born prospect has put in some impressive displays for Leverkusen during this campaign. His performances have caught the eye, and his incredible contributions have helped the German club make a strong start to this season. Havertz has made ten appearances for Peter Bosz’s team this term, registering three goals while creating one assist on all fronts.
Los Blancos are in dire need of a prolific goal-scorer from midfield as they continue their search for a long-term replacement for Luka Modric. James Rodriguez has faltered to deliver remarkable performances for the Galacticos this season. Therefore, Zinedine Zidane needs to find a proven goal-scorer from midfield, so Havertz fits the bill perfectly.
The 20-year-old has already managed to earn six international caps for Joachim Lowe’s German national team and has scored one goal for his nation thus far.
What Will The German Starlet Bring To Madrid?
Havertz is blessed with a sensational burst of pace which allows him to travel with the ball at high speed in the opposition half. He can interchange his play well with his teammates in midfield and doesn’t mind opening up space for others around him by completing some dangerous dribbles going forward.
Is Havertz A Good Option For Los Blancos?
The German prospect has already shown glimpses of his true worth and so the Galacticos will be fortunate if they can win the race for his signature. Even though there is fierce competition, Zidane should consider paying a large fee to recruit Havertz as he has the x-factor to make a real difference at Madrid.
The Bundesliga talent is technically gifted and has an intelligent football brain. He has most of the traits that are expected of a Galactico, which makes him a worthy option for the European giants.
