I really have to lol at all these pundits saying that the only way Havertz can develop as a player is at Real Madrid.
They have a horrendous record of late in buying players who do not even play like they did before, let alone get better.
let's look at player they have purchased
the record is either very poor, or they came ages ago
Thibaut Courtois a given, he was already great, and look at the issues he had at first
Alphonse Areola has regressed
Raphaël Varane yes, he is superb but he came NINE years ago
Éder Militão has been a bust so far
Sergio Ramos he came FIFTEEN years ago
Ferland Mendy has not progressed at all since Lyon
Marcelo he came THIRTEEN years ago
Achraf Hakimi he left, lol, became almost WC away from Real, NOT AT RM
Casemiro he came EIGHT years ago
Federico Valverde the only 'recent' exception, and he came 4 years ago, back when we had just finished in tenth place, arrf
Toni Kroos hecame SIX years ago, he was already WC and has maintained, I like him loads as a player, pure class
Luka Modric came EIGHT years ago, one of the few who got much better but he is not recent and is now on the verge of being done
Isco He came SEVEN years ago and has hit a wall now
James Rodríguez regressed, a big bust, a massive bust
Reinier just came, we shall see, another big money teen Brasilian
Brahim Díaz nothing special so far
Eden Hazard HUGE bust so far
Vinícius Júnior huge money for a teen, certainly is not exploding
Marco Asensio perfect example, came 5 years ago, and now has stagnated after a bright season several years back
Rodrygo huge money for a teen, certaily is not exploding
Gareth Bale all in all a huge bust, certainly did not raise his play that much at all from Spuds days
Karim Benzema he came ELEVEN years ago
Luka Jovic another massive bsut so far, perfect example
Mariano Díaz utter stagnation, zero development
Mateo Kovacic he did not develop until he left
Marcos Llorente had to leave to become a really solid player, he was utterly misused at RM
Theo Hernández perfect example, he has become a top, top LB but had to leave to do this
Martin Ödegaard he was looking like a bust until he left and now has developed into a really good player
Dani Ceballos has been great lately for Arse, and again he had to leave to start to really develop
Álvaro Odriozola another big money bust
CR7 ancient history, he came 11 years ago, his record has so warped the perception, along with the also not that recent Modric
all in all, a horrid record as of late (last 5 years especially)
