Real Madrid aren’t the only team chasing Eden Hazard

Double devil?

Eden Hazard seems destined to leave Chelsea at the end of this season.

The Belgian has struggled to repeat the form which saw him named Premier League Player of the Year, failing to net in the league all season.

But that hasn’t put off Manchester United, who reportedly want to bring Hazard to Old Trafford.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United could offer as much as £65m for the 25-year-old, who is expected to be key to the Belgian Red Devils’ hopes of Euro 2016 glory.

But Real Madrid remain interested in the player – unless a transfer ban prevents them from doing any business in the summer – while Barcelona are also thought to be keeping a close eye on developments.

Hopefully the player himself won’t drag out the saga in the same way as he did when leaving Lille for Stamford Bridge in 2012.
