While Kai Havertz had always hoped to play for Real Madrid, a transfer to Arsenal is now likely.
According to Nizaar Kinsella, who discussed the German on Inside Arsenal, that is the case.
Havertz is reportedly about to sign with the Gunners, but that hasn’t been his ideal move lately.
Indeed, Kinsella claimed that Havertz had always fantasised about moving to Real Madrid and that this summer might see the realisation of that dream.
Unfortunately, the £60 million man’s transfer to the Bernabeu hasn’t happened, and now he’s expected to join Arsenal.
Havertz desired to move to Madrid.
What Kinsella knows about Havertz was revealed.
He was constantly dreaming of Real Madrid, and I believed Madrid would arrive this summer. Madrid’s financial situation during the pandemic led him to Chelsea. It has taken him away from Real Madrid, who have been preparing to sign him for a while. However, the move to Madrid has never happened, but deals with Chelsea and Arsenal have,” Kinsella said.

It just goes to show how far Arsenal has come as a club that Havertz chose to join them despite having aspirations of joining Real Madrid.
Indeed, in the world of football, Arsenal was for many years a few tiers below Real Madrid.
Remember that before finishing fifth in 2021–2022, they had finished eighth twice in a row under Mikel Arteta. At that time, no one would have mentioned both Madrid and Arsenal in the same sentence.
However, after an incredible 18 months under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are back among the top teams in world football. Although they are not at Madrid’s level, they are once again among the clubs that can sign players like Havertz who aspire to play for Madrid, even though they are not at Madrid’s level.
Arsenal has undeniably reclaimed their position among football’s elite teams recently.
