Chelsea are reportedly plotting a move for former player Eden Hazard as the Belgian's future with Real Madrid remains uncertain.
According to El Nacional , he may be in line for a stunning return to west London. Hazard, 31, left the Blues for Madrid in 2019 for £103.5 million and at the time had become one of the Premier League's top stars.
The Belgian had flourished at Stamford Bridge, scoring 110 goals and providing 92 assists in 351 appearances. But it has been somewhat of a nightmare spell for the attacking midfielder at Madrid. Injury issues and a lack of form have plagued his time in Spain.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly has doubts about the Belgian given his lack of contribution over the years. He would accept offers between €40-50 million for the Belgian star.
Newcastle United have been interested in the former Premier League star. However, those links have died down with other targets in the Magpies sights.
Hazard is held in high regard by the Stamford Bridge faithful despite his exit back in 2019, having forged a close relationship with Blues fans. Chelsea, now under new ownership, could look to make a move for the forward to revitalize their stagnant attack.
Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech disappointed last season. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku has departed the club, returning to Inter Milan on loan.
Hazard has two years left to run on his deal with Real Madrid but faces an uphill battle in trying to displace the likes of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo in the starting XI.
