Front page of Sport claims Chelsea stars Eden Hazard and Willian have informed Barcelona that they are ‘open to negotiate’ their transfer to Camp Nou.
The duo want to leave Stamford Bridge to achieve their goal of winning the Champions League. They view Ernesto Valverde’s side as the ‘ideal option’ to win the European competition.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is now ‘more willing than ever’ to raise funds by allowing his star players to leave the club. Willian wants to leave the Blues because of the weather and lack of regular starts in London.
Hazard’s dream was to join Real Madrid because of his ‘feeling’ towards Zinedine Zidane, who has left the club. Florentino Perez, on the other hand, has set his sights on PSG star Neymar. Therefore, Hazard does not forget Barcelona.
It’s claimed Barcelona held informal talks with Hazard’s environment and have received positive feedback. They must take a ‘concrete step’ in their efforts to sign him. Willian’s desire to join Barcelona intensified after talking to Philippe Coutinho, Neymar and Paulinho over the course of the World Cup.
Sport claims the ball is now in Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu and technical secretary Eric Abidal’s court to sign Hazard and Willian.
