Real Madrid to rival Chelsea, United for Havertz?

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to battle Chelsea and Manchester United for the signature of Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz.

The 21-year-old has scored 15 times and registered eight assists in 38 appearances for Leverkusen this season, following on from the 20 goals that he managed in all competitions during the 2018-19 campaign.

Chelsea and United have both been strongly linked with the Germany international ahead of this summer's transfer window, which could run until October due to the coronavirus outbreak.

However, according to The Sun, Madrid are also firmly in the hunt for the versatile attacker.

A recent report claimed that Los Blancos had planned to make a £71m move for Havertz ahead of the 2020-21 campaign before the coronavirus pandemic changed their plans.

Bayern Munich and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in the German, who has a contract at the BayArena until the summer of 2022.
