I see it's started, I do think he'll leave but it'll depend how much Chelsea get for him and sign a replacement as well.
I'd be gutted if he left us but not disappointed, Had this been 2 years ago, I'd be really annoyed but I'm not for some reason.
In all seriousness, dont think Hazard is leaving. Thats not just wishful thinking either. He has stated numerous times he doesn't want to leave and has had many opportunites. If he really wanted to leave, last summer would have been his best time to escape, with us finishing 10th. Courtois on the other hand, is a different matter, I think he will be off soon, especially if Madrid fail to land De Gea, they will come sniffing around Courtois.
If I were Conte I'd sell Hazard for 100m and buy Mahrez for half the price. Since Mahrez joined the Prem they've got near identical records.
Real Madrid are willing to spend £100m on 26-year-old Chelsea foward Eden Hazard, according to the Spanish club's former president Ramon Calderon. (Talksport) The tapping-up is moving into over-drive.
Real have suggested they will not flinch at paying £100 Million for Haza so we'd still have £50 mill to strengthen elsewhere.
I don't think he'll go. He's stated that he's happy with us and it's been reported that we'll give him £300,000 a week.
Not sure you'd be able to accommodate Bale, Ronaldo and Hazard in the same team, especially not with Benzema up front as well.
His form this season hasn't been anywhere near what it was last season, this puts a doubt as to whether it's an ability issue or a desire to put the effort in. Regardless of which one it is, it means that his transfer value is not what it was and £50M is way OTT for him right now.
And Hazard didn't have a dip in form after last season? You only need to watch players like Hazard and Mahrez to know they're different gravy.
Yeah but Hazard has done it for more than one season, in principle I agree with you he's a special talent but one that has a ? at the moment. I wouldn't want to take a £50M chance on him at the moment but then others may disagree.
Would make sense for Haza to cash in at Chelsea with a nice new contract, win a trophy or two and then move to Real after World Cup in Russia. By then BBC will be 29, 30, 33. They could even sell Bale to us, if his injuries persist. Real need a galactic signing though, unsure if Monaco boys will suffice
If we are going to sell Hazard for £100m I would rather buy Sanchez for half the price. He won't be worth more than about £50m with only 12 months left on his contract this summer.
