With constant speculation in the media that star man Eden Hazard will be leaving the club at the end of the season for a move to the Bernabeu, there has been some speculation in the media about whom we could acquire to try and help fill the void which will be left by the Belgian.

The Welshman has not lived upto expectations at the Bernabeu and has really struggled since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus during the summer window.
And according to recent reports, Madrid are willing to let the Welshman leave the club in the summer transfer window if the £131 million price tag is met by us, or any other chasing club that are interested in trying to secure a summer deal.

“It leaves Sarri in a tough place – I’m surprised he didn’t force him to come off,” he told Sky Sports.
“It will be interesting how it pans out in the next 24 hours for the club.
“It’s not the end of it – it’s a cloud over a really good Chelsea performance especially with what’s happened of late, as the results and performances haven’t been good enough.
It’s disappointing – let’s see what happens now.”
