Eden Hazard has been one of the best players for Chelsea this season in their triumph in the Premier League. The Belgian captain has found his form once again in the Blues’ jersey after a pretty average outing the last term, which almost had his career in doubt with the current champions. However, this season, he has recovered brilliantly and has shown his class once again to take his club to the top of the League table.
Reportedly, the Chelsea star is being eyed by the current Spanish La Liga champions Real Madrid, with a view to strengthen their side for the next season. The Galacticos have been on a roll this season, clinching the Champions League for a consecutive second year, thus registering their name in the history of the tournament to be the first team to do so.
Their coach Zinedine Zidane, does not want to let go off the momentum and is looking forward to making the next season an even more successful one, and is keen for someone like Hazard to bolster his chances.
Hazard has already said that he is happy at the West London club, and the Blues manager Antonio Conte is also looking to hold back his prized possession for some more time to come. However, in case the Belgian ace leaves his current club, the Italian mastermind might look towards these players as replacements:
Gareth Bale (Real Madrid):
The Welsh captain has been under fire from the Real Madrid coach and has lost his place to a charged up Isco in the Galacticos starting line-up. He might be the perfect replacement for Eden Hazard at Chelsea in case he leaves for Real Madrid next season. Bale has been reportedly dejected by the turn of events at the Bernabeu. The Blues can provide him the opportunity to be the talisman of the side next season.
James Rodriguez-
Another Real Madrid star, who has been pretty much undermined by the team management in the recently concluded season, is the Columbian captain James Rodriguez, who is reportedly also looking to make a move out of Santiago Bernabeu. Chelsea can also lure him if they are looking for a good enough option to replace Eden Hazard this summer.
Neymar Jr-
The Brazilian superstar has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League club Manchester United, but Chelsea can play spoilsport by picking him up in the summer in place of Hazard, given he goes to Bernabeu.
