Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has insisted the Club authorities to sign Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard despite his poor form this season. Although it is rumoured that Real Madrid are tracking Neymar from arch-rivals Barcelona, such a move is highly improbable, provided the crucial dimension the Brazilian delivers to the attacking prowess of Barcelona.
Nonetheless, Chelsea are standing firm against selling their star player, not for money less than 80 million pounds, says The Sun. The 25-year-old Belgian is having a bad spell at Chelsea after an emphatic last season, which saw Chelsea winning the Premier League.
Real Madrid have been in heels of Eden Hazard for a long time and will surely take advantage to lure him to Los Blancos.
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are also tracking the player, but he is likely to join the Madrid team if he quits Chelsea. Zidane has voiced the desire to add the midfielder to the already star-studded Real Madrid side. If a deal materialises for the hefty price demanded by Chelsea, it will match the money Real Madrid spent to land Gareth bale in 2013.
Eden Hazard joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012 and since has been a revelation, making 188 appearances for the West London club across all competitions and scoring 49 goals. However, the present season has been torrid for Hazard as he has not found the back of the net, yet, regardless of making 26 appearances.
Other than Eden Hazard and Neymar, Real Madrid are also trying to land Dea Gea from Manchester United. Meanwhile, Chelsea will look to former Arsenal captain Robin Van Persie to fill the space of Eden Hazard if he is to leave.
