Bayer Leverkusen chief Carro: Real Madrid tried for Havertz before Chelsea

Real Madrid contacted Bayer in 2020 to acquire his services, but they couldn't match Bayer's 80m asking price.

Carro recalled to Onda Cero: "We recommended Havertz wait, but he wanted to win titles.

We sold to Chelsea. One of the reasons was the ambition he had."

For Carro, Havertz is a player who, due to his football and quality, had the capacity to fit better in a Spanish club".
