Real Madrid line up Hazard as Ronaldo replacement
Madrid could try to sign the Belgian next summer, with Ronaldo potentially on the way out of the Bernabeu
In a sensational move, Eden Hazard is being lined up as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, according to reports today. The future of the Portuguese international has recently been up in the air, with the player thought to have fallen out with club executives.
It means that the ex-Man United man could be set to quit the Bernabeu at the end of the season and it has lead to Real reportedly drawing up a list of replacements, with Eden Hazard top of that list. Any move is currently unlikely but if Ronaldo does indeed end up forcing a move away next year, then Madrid will move to sign the Belgian.
If these two deals are done, they will most certainly be mega-money moves. The Blues themselves would likely demand at least £60m for Hazard, with Jose Mourinho determined not to lose any key players. As for Ronaldo, a move would be worth even more and could break the current world-record transfer fee if he was to leave.
It was former team-mate Angel Di Maria who cast the winger's future into doubt, as he said this about the Poruguese man: "I don't know how much longer Ronaldo can put up with it at Madrid.
"I get the impression that he is not very happy."
Chelsea would more than happily sign Ronaldo and could potentially offer Hazard in some kind of swap deal, but if Ronaldo was to return to the Prem, he would much prefer a move to old club Man United. The player himself said this last week about the Red Devils: "I love Manchester. Everyone knows that. Manchester is in my heart. I left many good friends there.
"The supporters are amazing and I wish I can come back one day."
Only time will tell if Ronaldo does make a move away from Spain and whether Hazard makes the move to the Bernabeu or not.
