Spanish news outlet Don Balon claim that Chelsea winger Eden Hazard “dreams” of playing for Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid and that the player is ready to force through a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, as reported by the Daily Star.
The Madrid club are looking for a new forward after selling Alvaro Morata to Chelsea and James Rodriguez to Bayern Munich.
Manager Zinedine Zidane is keen on getting Belgian Hazard, but the Madrid board prefer that they sign Monaco youngster Kylian Mbappe.
The French manager is looking increasingly likely to sell Gareth Bale who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester United interested.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte recently laughed off rumours which were claiming that Barcelona wanted to sign Hazard and the Italian claimed that the Belgian is settled at Stamford Bridge.
The forward has just returned to training following ankle surgery which kept him out of pre-season and Conte is hoping that Hazard stays.
I expect him to play with Chelsea, it is not the right moment to lose a player.
I have great consideration for this player because he is top quality but I repeat I am the coach and I can give my opinion but the final decision is always the club’s.
There could be a possible swap deal between the clubs involving Bale and Hazard but it seems highly unlikely at this point.
