After such a poor season with Chelsea with the Blues on the verge of not qualifying for the Champions League next season, Eden Hazard would be desperate to make his long-awaited dream move to Real Madrid at the end of this season.
The La Liga and Champions League holders also want to bring the Belgian to the Bernabeu with Zinedine Zidane a known admirer, however, Los Merengues would have to sell Gareth Bale first.
Left to Zidane alone, the Welsh winger would have been sold since last summer, but Bale is a favourite of club president, Florentino Perez and Zidane does not yet have enough credit to veto transfer decisions.
According to Sun Sport, Bale also has no desire to walk away from his lucrative deal that runs until the summer of 2022 with Real Madrid even though he does not have the trust of his manager at the moment.
Bale’s relationship with the French gaffer is said to have deteriorated so much that he could struggle to get near the first team next season if he does not leave the Spanish giants.
Hazard has stalled on signing an improved deal at Stamford Bridge and that has been seen as an indication he is waiting for Madrid to come calling.
