Real Madrid achieved a new height of success last season as they secured their 12th Champions league title, demolishing the Italian champions Juventus by 4-1 in the final. They also clinched their 33rd La Liga title in the last season, dethroning arch rivals Barcelona and making it one of the most successful seasons for themselves in the recent times.
The man in charge at Santiago Bernabeu, Zinedine Zidane, is well aware of the fact that the burden of expectations will be huge on him this season and he will not be able to afford any goof-up in the forthcoming days. As a result, he is looking to bring in players who will help him to strengthen the squad even more and comply with his attacking style to the best of their abilities.
One such player, who has been on the top of the Frenchman’s hit list for quite some time is the Belgian star attacker, Eden Hazard, who is currently an integral part of the Premier League champion side Chelsea. The 26-year-old has been nothing less than a talismanic figure for the Blues and proved to be the defining factor in their triumph in the Premier League last term.
The player has been one of the most highly regarded players in the present situation and has been in tremendous form of late, making it possible for his team to notch up their sixth Premier League title and the second one during his tenure with the club. He has been the mainstay in their attack for the last few seasons and scored 16 goals to show for his efforts in the last term, apart from laying down five crucial assists, providing his teammates with opportunities to score goals and keep his team in advantage.
He has been the subject to praise from a number of football experts and rival managers, including the Real Madrid coach Zidane, who is very much impressed with the abilities of the Belgian skipper in the attack for Chelsea. Speculations are rife that the ex-Galactico might be on his way to get the player for the future and might make a stunning bid that will be too hard to turn down for the Chelsea forward.
Los Blancos tried their hand at getting the player during the recently concluded transfer window as well. However, Chelsea, for obvious reasons, have looked to scupper any deal that will make their talisman leave Stamford Bridge and might look to repeat the same thing in the future again so that the reigning Spanish La Liga champions don’t have a chance to add the enigmatic forward to their squad.
