Real Madrid are looking to sell winger Eden Hazard this summer and intermediaries working on behalf of the club have reached out to Chelsea to try send the Belgian back to Stamford Bridge.

The problem for Real is there are few sides willing to pay a
sizeable transfer fee or meet Hazard’s wages, so club officials are left with
very few options when it comes to offloading the 30-year-old.
Their latest tactic, according to AS, is to reach out to Chelsea
to gauge their interest in bringing the winger back in the hope that the
emotional link between club and player could help facilitate things
It’s said that Chelsea aren’t exactly against the idea of
bringing Hazard back to the club, but despite their love of the 30-year-old,
they are no more willing to meet Real’s demands than any other side.

Timo Werner, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Callum Hudson-Odoi,
Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are all pushing for minutes out wide, and
that number could go up if any of the returning loanees can impress Tuchel in
pre-season.
Should Real lower their demands, Chelsea may well consider doing
business over Hazard, but there is no chance of them committing big money to
the Belgian at this point in time.
