Eden Hazard used the aftermath Belgium’s third place victory over England to tell the world he’s seriously considering a change of scenery, and that his time at Chelsea could be coming to and end.
As for his wish of destination club, Hazard said everyone knows his preference, which has led the world to assume he meant Real Madrid.
El Confidencial suggest the Chelsea player may get his way, if only because he wants it more than the player competition. Hazard’s words are described as a ‘rebellion’ and it’s something which Neymar hasn’t done himself
Hazard’s named is ‘fluttering in the offices of the Bernabéu’ because he’s shown a willingness to push for a move out of Chelsea, and towards Madrid.
The Spanish club don’t want a war with PSG so are therefore banking on Neymar speaking out publicly, but that hasn’t been the case and there’s no sign it will be.
El Confidencial believe Chelsea’s starting price for Hazard is €120m plus bonuses, which seems optimistic on the Madrid side. The Belgian international’s wages would also have to be increased to €15m a year, likely after tax.
