Real Madrid are lining up Kai Havertz to replace Karim Benzema after the Frenchman announced his departure from the Bernabeu.
Benzema has called time on his career at Los Blancos after 14 years and will depart this summer, a year before his contract was due to expire. It leaves Madrid scrambling to find a replacement for the striker, who won the Ballon d'Or last year.
Havertz appears to be on their shortlist, as Carlo Ancelotti looks to bounce back from a disappointing campaign in LaLiga. Chelsea are thought to be ready to listen to offers for the German, who has failed to live up to his £72million price tag.
