Chelsea tell Madrid that Asensio or Isco must be included in Hazard deal

Chelsea have told Real Madrid that if they want to sign Eden Hazard this summer then they must include either Isco or Marco Asensio in any deal.

Diario Gol claims that the Blues are aware of the growing interest from Madrid, with rumours circulating about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at the club.

Both Hazard and Neymar are being linked with big-money moves to the Bernabeu as Ronaldo looks set to depart for Juventus.

The report claims that both players are ready to take the number seven shirt at the club should they join this summer.

A move to sign either Neymar or Hazard would cast doubts over the playing time both Isco or Asensio would get at the club next season.

The latter is said to be a hopeful of nailing down a place in the squad under Julen Lopetegui, whom he worked with for the Spanish U-21 side.

While it would come as a huge blow to lose Hazard this summer, a deal to bring in one of the two Madrid players would help fill the void left by the Belgian.
