Real Madrid centre-back and former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has revealed he would love Chelsea forward Kai Havertz to reunite with him at Real Madrid.

The Spanish side are reportedly interested in signing Havertz this summer following the exit of Kai Havertz but are yet to reach an agreement with Chelsea over a fee.

Rudiger said: “I would be happy to play with Kai [Havertz] again in a club. As far as the transfer market is concerned, I have nothing to report.”

Meanwhile, according to transfer expert Dean Jones, the Chelsea hierarchy have told Kai Havertz to find a new club amid interest from Real Madrid.

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “My understanding is that Kai Havertz has basically been made aware that finding a new club is likely to be in his best interests.

“The transfer to Chelsea hasn’t been a total disaster, but it has not been great, and Chelsea do not see value in him staying long-term unless he is on a longer deal. He’s got two years left, and it gives Chelsea a chance to offload him at a decent price.

“I know there have been some reports of him being available at a cut-price, but that’s not strictly true. They might take a small hit on what they bought him for, but he’s not going on the cheap.

“He has to try to find a new club. If Madrid don’t go for it, then Bayern is definitely something that could be worked on by intermediaries.

“Ultimately, this is a season with a European Championship being held at the end of it, in his home country, Germany. The season has to go well.

“Agents working on his behalf and also Chelsea’s behalf need to figure this out. In England, there won’t be many obvious options, but everything will be explored if it starts to drag.”
