According to reports from The Daily Mail, unhappy Chelsea star Eden Hazard will force through a move to Real Madrid next summer if Jose Mourinho is still in charge.
The Belgium international has been linked with a stunning move to the Bernabeu ever since liking an instagram post mooting him as a transfer target of the La Liga giants in October, and The Mail claim he’s now determined to join Los Blancos next summer unless Roman Abramovich sacks manager Jose Mourinho.
The Blues suffered their sixth Premier League defeat of the season on Saturday, a 3-1 loss to Liverpool, and the Portuguese decided to sub off Hazard for 19 year-old Kenedy in the 59th minute.
He also dropped the 24 year-old, who is still waiting for his first goal of the season, during a recent 2-0 win over Aston Villa – leading to rumours of growing tensions between the two.
The Mail claim playing for Real Madrid has been one of Hazard’s ambitions since childhood, having idolised club legend Zinedine Zidane, who is now manager of Los Blancos’ second string, Castilla.
Interestingly, former Real president Ramon Calderon claimed earlier this week that the Spanish capital outfit are monitoring the Blues winger. He told French outlet beIN Sport; “They are also looking at Hazard and, as far as I know, he has not said no. We will wait and see.”
