I'm going to quote so many Chelsea fans when Hazard signs that contract next to Florentino.
Eden Hazard to Real Madrid?
- Thread starter BlueCelery
- Start date
Chelsea and City can both feck off. Wouldn't give a shit if they liquidated their clubs.
I wonder the same about his numbers. A couple of days ago I wrote here that I wasn´t too convinced about his signing, so I wish I´ll have to eat my words. I also wonder what will happen with Cristiano and if it will work being a #9.
I also imagine Hazard playing as a #10, in a diamond with Cris and Bale in the attack.
In any case he seems a very fun player for the viewer.
Of course they can afford him. Their revenue for last season was 620m euros, they could easily spend 150-200m euros or so, especially considering that they haven't spend that much in a few years.
You might want to take a quick look at the league table, mate.
Plus they should get a big fee for James in the summer.
Or Isco. Or Morata.
I have no idea where does it come that Barca/Real are skint and can't spend nothing. It is getting repeated in this forum all the time. Just because they haven't spend that much in the last year or two (at a time when they were winning UCL and so had already a crazy strong squad).
Ok so Marca somehow know of Chelsea budget for the summer, then link them with not one but two Real players?
Lukaku will cost them £50-60m as Everton don't need to sell, they're backed by wealthy owners. Bakayoko will probably be a done deal at £35m but why the need for Morata too that'd likely cost them £40m+ when they have Costa and Batsyui? Unless they switch to two strikers up top, then where would Rodriguez play? Makes no sense to me

Costa is clearly off if Lukaku comes. Don't think Conte rates Batshuayi.
Forgetting for a minute that Chelsea wouldn't even entertain the idea of their best player, where is Hazard going to fit at Madrid? Ronaldo and Bale are guaranteed starters. He won't leave to sit on a bench.
Probably sell Costa and Batshuayi for a profit too
Well i look at last 8 years of league record
, and the season is yet to finish with a el classico remaining.Ronaldo ST, Bale RW, Hazard LW.
He'd play off them. All three are also good enough to interchange.
But idea scenario would be Hazard as number 10 with Modric and Casemiro in big games. Kroos and Modric vs the lesser teams.
I'm terrified by the idea of us spending a world record fee for hazard only to play him in midfield and throw away a season trying to fit him and the bbc together.
And then i read marca mentioning hazard earns €10M a year after tax and would have to accept less money to play for us and the fear disappears. It's just marca being marca. Again

And history tables too
Cmon man
There's no denying that playing for Madrid does have a certain stature to it and they end up attracting players. It might not all be rosy and all that, and some very good players like Coentrao & Kaka have ended up failing there. The club does have that pull though, undeniably.Move Ronaldo up top with Hazard and Bale on the wings.
That would mean we'd have to ship one of Benzema and Morata, with the other one having to accept a squad role. I'd honestly prefer to keep Morata but if it means we'd get Hazard with him going in the other direction, I'm all for it.
Yeah, I'm sure Conte wants Morata so bad, he'll drive Hazard to Madrid personally. Wo wouldn't want the world beater like Morata? While you're at it you may look at a possibility of swapping Coentrao for Alaba, too.
Don't forget to bring Courtois too.
Of course Hazard would move to Madrid.
No brainer
No brainer
Would obviously be really sad if he went but also pretty exciting to see us go crazy in the transfer market replacing him.
Think it's far more likely he stays than goes, though. Another run at the CL with us on an improved team and under a manager he says he really loves playing for. Then he can move next summer if he still desires to do so.

Who do you replace him with though?
Actually Hazard+Courtois=Morata+James+money It sounds too optimistic for us(an option from the spanish press) although I think that Morata could do great in Premier League.Good question. Of course we won't get someone who's absolutely world class and ready made like Hazard. Still plenty of excellent attacking players we could get, though. I love Bernardo Silva. Maybe take a risk on Reus if he can be tempted to leave BVB?
Or maybe move to Conte's preferred 2 striker setup with Lukaku & Morata both up top?
Who knows. Would be interesting to watch what the club do if he leaves.
I don't think he'd be a great loss if I'm honest. Saying that though you'd probably only see the impact when he actually went.
Bernardo is a good shout.
How could I forget. How about I'll throw in Costa and Kante to give Benzema and Casemiro some competition for places?
I have a counter-offer. How about Moses + Batshuayi + bag of peanuts for Bale + Kroos? Now I know it sounds a bit too optimistic for Real to dump their perennially injured Welshman on us along with his huge wages but I'm willing to take that risk.
If Hazard wants to go he'll go.
I don't think Hazard will improve Madrid much, if at all because he's not better than Bale but i think Ronaldo will be very happy because Hazard is a very unselfish player, almost to a fault at times. He will set up a lot of goals for Ronaldo. Don't think it will happen though. Chelsea will ask for a ridiculous price that only PSG and City could match with all their oil money.
Cheaper??? This is Chelsea we are talking about. They dont want, nor need to sell their best player. World Record by a milestone. If Pogba went for 90M, you bet your sweet arse Chelsea will want well over 100M. They can afford it. They got rid of Oscar for 60M.......
I don't see how he fits with BBC. Clearly Benzema would have to move and Florentino loves Benzema like a son. Even if they move Benzema to accommodate Hazard, Ronaldo becomes no9 and didn't he get pissed at the idea from Benitez? I don't see it happening. Chelsea are also loaded, they don't need the 120m it would take to sell.
He's more of a playmaker than any of their front players. He'd probably get decent numbers but he's never going to get you Ronaldo esque numbers. What you'll get though is someone who's essentially the 2nd best dribbler in the world and will be a lot more involved in the build up play than Bale and Ronaldo. Whether Real need that kind of player is another question entirely but then again it's not something Real bother with too much.
Hazard doesn't bring any of that to the table, he hasn't the marketability to bump that number up.
There will be a player swap to muddy the waters so both clubs can claim the victor, maybe 30m plus Morata or something.
Nonsense.
Itll be James then, maybe Varane.
The first world problem that English football has is it's wealth. If Chelsea want to sell Hazard (for example) then unless they sell to an English side it becomes a buyers market. Who are Madrid's competition? Who would drive up the price?
Hazard only goes for more than the world record if he's sold to an English club,
Stand in his way? Keep an unhappy player? We all saw how an unhappy Hazard performed last season.
All English sides now have this exact same problem, we're all in the same boat. Like mid 90's Serie A when they had to sell amongst each other.
They don't which renders the rest of it pointless. If Madrid want to take Hazard, they'll have to cough up the cash. Tbf to Madrid, they dont hesitate to fork out when they really want a player and the guy wants the move.
Chelsea don't want to sell the player. Chelsea don't need to sell the player. The player never said he wanted to leave the club since his arrival almost five years ago and has a contract with three more years still left on it, so even if he wanted to leave they wouldn't be hard pressed to sell him. And if, and when they do, it'll be for a whole lot more than 30m and Morata.
Most likely, Chelsea will soon sign him to a new better long term deal and that'll be the end of it.
Morata If I was in Roman's shoes id ask for the injury prone Bale and 30M in trade of Hazard. I bet Roman would ask for even more rightfully so. They dont need to sell Hazard for any reason whatsoever. I would care less if Hazard is as good as Bale or not. Take it or leave it, I would not need to sell Hazard.
Hazard would not complain either with the contract Roman could offer him.
