Eden Hazard to Real Madrid?

Marca loves the international breaks

" 12 months ago the rumors about a possible arrival of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid multiplied. His departure from England for Spain seemed imminent. He even heard whistles in a match, in what seemed a prelude to his farewell.
However, the Chelsea leaders decided that it was not the time to negotiate anything with anyone. Of course, the player got a commitment for which a year later, the London club would listen offers.
Marina Granonskaia is in charge of acting and listening the proposals that arrive. She knows of the interest of Real Madrid in the signing of Hazard and assumes that in this occasion is forced to negotiate due to the pact closed a year ago with the player. At that time, Chelsea needed to ensure the presence of the Belgian star because of the team's poor campaign. It was a moral issue, because of how much Hazard represents in the English team.
Real Madrid has already moved and said to the Belgian international that Zidane is still interested in his signing. The Chelsea general manager wants to convince Hazard by drawing a dream team for the next few years, in which he would be the offensive reference, with Morata, James Rodriguez, Bakayoko and Lukaku, among them. A spectacular project that invites the crack to continue and miss the chance to go to the white team.

It is said that Abramovich is willing to put 200 million euros on the table to convince Hazard of the competitiveness that can reach the English team, both in the Premier (the title is very close), and in the Champions.Hazard has the word/decision, but everything indicates that his decision to change the air/change of scene is final after five years in Chelsea in which he has won a Europa League and a Premier as the most outstanding titles. Zidane sees him as an unbalancing player capable of breaking defenses for speed and skill, a circumstance that is not abundant in the current white team. In short, a new galáctico that comes to reinforce a team with a devastating offensive potential. Hazard is the man. "

Not convinced Madrid has money to get him, and in the end it will come down to that - money. If he has a choice of Madrid or Chelsea it will be no brainer for Hazard.
 
They're government funded, they won't mind.
Well we'll have to find out, won't we? :D

Load of BS. They'll be back again next summer assuring everyone about how Hazard has now finally finally finally made up his mind to leave. This has been a constant rumour since 2013 and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. Have to hand it to Hazard's agent too, fwiw. He sure knows how to get a pay rise for his client.

He's probably going to leave but not for another year at the very least.

Oh and...

an unbalancing player capable of breaking defenses for speed and skill, a circumstance that is not abundant in the current white team.
I'm sure Ronaldo and Bale will be happy to hear they both lack speed and skill :lol::lol::lol:
 
I'm convinced he will be gone in the summer. Chelsea obviously don't want him to go but he comes across as the type of player that would force a move and unsettle the dressing room if he doesn't get his own way. Wasn't there rumours of him being one of the ring leaders that turned against Jose last season?

I can understand all the Chelsea fans coming out and saying it's never going to happen and we don't need to sell etc. It hurts losing your star player. We feel your pain.

When there is no Liga they have to fill the newspapers with something, and it would be more credible if it were published a bit later, in late April or in May.
In any case, if they insist on it perhaps it is for something.
They have given more coverage to Hazard in a week than to Pogba last summer.
In addition, It´s the possibility that Chelsea really are interested in Morata and James. These transfers swapping players never happen but it could be a possibility that makes things easier.
Seeing his age and all these new talents that are appearing I believe that if it is not this year it will never be.

You almost get the feeling some United fans are praying for this move to happen, not even to weaken Chelsea but just so Chelsea fans can feel how you felt when you lost Ronaldo to Madrid :lol:

Ah well, you have a right to wish for whatever you want, I guess. Doesn't mean it'll happen. ;)

Of course. I remember how certain they were that Mata was going to Spurs or Arsenal, never once mentioning United (I don't even think those two clubs made any offers to Chelsea). Oh and how certain they've been for the past 2 years (and eventually this summer as well) that United are about to make a record breaking transfer bid for Bale. And how Chelsea had beaten Barca to the signing of Otamendi. I can go on and on. If you put out 500 BS transfer rumours, at least a few of them are bound to stick. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I do however think Conte is interested in signing Morate (NOT Rodriguez). Whether it'll happen or not is another issue. Conte seems to hate ridiculous transfer fees and has spoken about it. I doubt he'd willing to pay the ridiculous 70m+ Madrid are asking for Morata. Especially when we can get Lukaku for less (or at most 70m).

It's definitely going to be an interesting summer. Last post here for the day, unfortunately. Cheers!

I don't wish for it beyond weakening a rival. If it was city or Liverpool then yes would just like it to happen out of spite but have nothing against Chelsea. I just have a feeling it will happen. Maybe im wrong. We will see.
 
I think Madrid will be facing a dilemma similar to the Pogba one last year. Is the player really worth 100m? Is he better than the current options they have? It's either Ronaldo or Benzema who'll have to make way for Hazard. He is not even that young to play a bench role for a season. I don't think he can play in midfield like Di Maria as well. Mostly, Benzema will have to make way for Hazard with Ronaldo playing the striker role. Is Ronaldo ready to make that move in a 433 formation? Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer.
 
Until something more trustworthy breaks out there's as much reason to discuss this, as Messi making a move to Real.
 
I dont think This will happen. Even being a united fan i don't want this to happen. Chelsea are on a good project and its time for English teams to put up a real fight in the ucl from next year and put up a real fight in the transfer market in terms of the best players, Chelsea should put an insane price tag on him to make him out of Madrid's reach something like 150 m pounds. Real madrid are looking for a team who can buy their cast out James rodriguez and recoup them with the money they spent on him or replace him with another player and Epl teams must stay away from him as his attitude and talent aint that good enough. He is another Dimaria and Ozil.

Also When we beat them next year I dont want a weakened Chelsea team. Our Rivalry in the league is getting exiting with mourinho and conte.

Exactly When Negotiations dont go Madrid's way they start all sort of tricks and try to unsettle the player and Convince him to Push for a Move, That's Madrid.

With Proper additions in the summer Chelsea can be a contender for the Ucl next year I truly belive that.
 
Hazard has always said that England would be his stepping stone to Real Madrid. I believe the Marca story that there is an agreement for him to transfer there.

Marca is a Madrid Propoganda Mouthpiece. These are all tricks to unsettle him and if hazard got any Brain he should think of becoming a pawn 10 times .
 
For every paper that says Hazard is going to Real, there's another that says he's going to sign a new contract at Chelsea. Why do people even pay attention to transfer rumours!
 
Hope he goes, Chelsea won't win the league next year without him. If they lose both Costa and Hazard then that'd be just peachy.

I Hope he stays so that we can beat a strong chelsea just like the old times and make ucl finals together in the near future.
 
marca trying to push the agenda on the fans and see how they react. They already tried an online poll and hazard came second to last among fans.

still think it is bs. Flo might try but chelsea's asking price will make him look elsewhere
 
This looks like a certainty to me. Marca dropped the Mbappe stories to run this only confirms it in my eyes.
Eden will be cheaper, it's a one club auction so the price won't be driven up ala Mbappe and is a face saving exercise if they got word Mbappe doesn't fancy the move to Madrid.

I'd be amazed if Hazard turned out to be cheaper. Hard to see it not being a world record if it happens.
 
Good player. Bad move IMO.

He's the golden boy here in England, why give it up and face the wrath of the Spanish press & RM fans? They are just brutal, the lot of them. Booing a player who's scored hundreds of goals, and 30 somethng hat-tricks in the process.

Granted he can act like a child sometimes, but i think he would have had his right of way at OT.

Eden will be cheaper ? Chelsea are a club who sold oscar for 60 m .

Hope both of them feck off. Imagine them signing Barkley and Lukaku as replacements. Lukaku would be a good addition. But Barkley would stink of averageness.

For the same reason others did in the past. To prove themselves competing in a very demanding club that does not forgive anyone. In a different league that perhaps favors his technical style.To leave his comfort zone once he has won everything in England. I do not think an elite player will stop signing for Madrid because of the whistles.

Okay, good answer. There's no doubting the prestige of playing for RM & yes, damn right it's demanding. I think he'll do well, being a quick, technically gifted player. Wonder how his numbers would look though, next to some the big guns at La Liga.

Nope i hope he stays so that epl clubs are back to compete for ucl's

What prestige? Barcelona are the top club in spain, madrid are trying to play catch up.

Who do you support?

Why do you want Man City or Chelsea to compete for the champions league? Very strange. I could give two fecks about them. Their fans will say the same about us.

They won 2 champions league in 3 seasons. You know that trophy you are obsessed for other English clubs to lift.

If you don't think going from Chelsea to Madrid isn't a big step up then you deluded. Chelsea aren't even the biggest club in their City.
 
Chelsea won't sell and even if they do, Madrid can't afford him.
 
I'd be amazed if Hazard turned out to be cheaper. Hard to see it not being a world record if it happens.
Cheaper than Mbappe but not cheap overall.
If Hazard wants to leave then it becomes Madrid negotiating with Chelsea for an acceptable fee, Mbappe seems to be in the open market so they have United, City in play that will drive up the price.
Only way Monaco agree to sell is for a ridiculous price, the Madrid tactic of turning his head and going for the lower price won't work in this scenario imo.
 
No prestige in beating a weakened Chelsea and City, besides united will be there too as well ofcourse , Its time English clubs break the Real madrid Barcelona dominance in ucl and best them for trophies and biggest players specially with our tv money. We should not make eaisier for them to keep dominating .
