Soccer: PSG Looking to Lure Eden Hazard from Chelsea With £75 Million Bid
Chelsea midfielder and winger Eden Hazard is reportedly unhappy at Stamford Bridge, according to French newspaper L'Equipe via The Mirror. The Belgian wants to leave Chelsea and join Real Madrid this summer.
The report notes that Hazard's rocky relationship with manager Jose Mourinho is one of the reasons he is unhappy in England. He was dropped from the Chelsea lineup in the 2-0 win against Aston Villa last week with the manager saying, "I left out Hazard because we are conceding lots of goals. It was a tactical decision. We needed midfield players to be concerned with being solid. I told players this is not the moment to think about personal situation, or moan, to be selfish."
The rumors of Hazard leaving for Spain was fuelled after he liked a post about speculations of him moving to Madrid, per The Daily Star. Spanish football website Fichajes via The Metro reports that Madrid president Fiorentino Perez wants to make the 24-year-old winger his next Galactico signing.
However, The Mirror adds that the move can happen only if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Madrid. Sky Sports reports that Ronaldo is the main target by French giants Paris St-Germaine to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic next season.
The 30-year-old has been rumored to be leaving the Spanish capital but has insisted that he wants to finish his contract with Madrid which runs until 2018, per The Telegraph. "I am settled here, I'm useful here and I want to continue at the club. I want to win and I am at the best club in the world," Ronaldo said.
With no guarantee that the Portuguese forward will be leaving Bernabéu, PSG will reportedly lure Hazard with a £75 million bid this January, per The Sun. The French club is said to be willing to increase the 2014 PFA Player of the Year's salary to £200,000 a week.
The report noted that Hazard spent seven years with Lille before moving to Chelsea in 2012. He led Lille to the Ligue 1 title and Coupe de France in the 2010-2011 season. PSG was interested in signing the Belgian before he agreed to a contract extension with Chelsea last season.
According to ESPN, Hazard is also a transfer target for Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona. He has not officially been transferred considering he has a contract until 2022 and it will cost an upward trend to his market value of €70 million, per Transfermarkt.
Per Bleacher Report, the 24-year-old has not scored for Chelsea this campaign in all of his 14 appearances. The Blues currently sit at 15th in the Premier League Table after 10 matches with three wins, two draws and five defeats.
