Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to offer Gareth Bale to Chelsea as they bid to sign Eden Hazard. Belgium superstar Hazard has been heavily linked with Real over the past year and he is yet to commit his future to the Blues by signing a new contract.
Real Madrid have fallen 20 points adrift of La Liga leaders Barcelona this season, sparking suggestions that the club are set for a major overhaul this summer.
A number of players have been touted as targets for the Spanish giants and Zinedine Zidane’s future is in serious doubt, with Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino lined up as a potential replacement.
The Daily Express say Real have made Hazard, 27, their No 1 target as they prepare for the summer and are willing to offer Chelsea £100m – plus Bale – to finally bring him to the Bernabéu.
Manchester United have expressed interest in signing Wales forward Bale but it is unlikely that Jose Mourinho will revive his interest this summer after bringing Alexis Sanchez to Old Trafford last month.
Bale, 28, is enduring a frustrating season in Spain with a series of injuries keeping him out for over two months over the course of the current campaign. The former Tottenham star has nine goals from 21 appearances but continues to have a strained relationship with the Madrid faithful.
