The Chelsea version of Eden Hazard is the one Real Madrid thought they were buying.
Zidane Zidane had long been a big fan of the Blues player, yet Florentino Perez held back on making an effort. Even with Hazard sending as many hints as he possibly could about a move to Los Blancos, Perez was hesitant about getting into a transfer war with Chelsea.
When it came to the Belgian only having a year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge it provided the Spanish side with a chance to pounce, but even then the move cost them well over €100m.
Sending all that money to Chelsea just hasn’t been worth it, and that’s something the media close to Real Madrid complain about on a regular basis.
This time it’s the turn of AS, and in their Saturday edition the newspaper states: ‘In the last 365 days he has played only 20 
games and scored 3 goals. His talent is not in dispute. His physique and his head, for the moment, stayed in London.’
