Real Madrid Ready To Offer Morata Plus Cash To Secure Hazard Deal
Real Madrid are quite confident they will snap up Eden Hazard this summer if they include Alvaro Morata in a swap deal worth a combined £120 million, according to latest reports.
Hazard’s entourage are fully focused on Real and the La Liga champions believe a summer deal is now a real possibility.
Morata has long been linked with Chelsea, with Antonio Conte having seen him flourish at his former club Juventus. The striker earned a move back to Spain with two successful years in Serie A and Conte is still a big fan of him.
The Bernabeu hierarchy believes that if they offer Morata in a part-swap deal plus a world-record transfer fee, they can secure the Hazard transfer.
The total package may be worth upwards of £120 million, which would eventually smash the world-record Paul Pogba fee. Pogba cost £89 million, but Hazard’s move to Real Madrid would easily surpass that figure, according to the Mirror.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are ready to hand Hazard £300,00 a week to tie him down, but even his teammates are not sure if a wage increase would be enough to keep him.
Hazard has starred for Chelsea this term, scoring 14 league goals to put them within touching distance of the Premier League title.
