Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid Prepare Eden Hazard Bids [Rumor]

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are set to do battle over the signature of Eden Hazard in the next few months.

Rumors have started to circulate that the Spanish and French sides have become enamored with the Chelsea forward. It’s believed that they will bid around $110 million in an attempt to convince Jose Mourinho to part with the talented player.

The Belgian international has already scored seven goals and made just as many assists during Chelsea’s electric start to the Premier League season. The Stamford Bridge side are currently unbeaten this campaign, and many soccer experts and journalists believe that they are the clear favorites to land the title.

The 23-year-old attacker, who usually plays on the wing or behind the centre-forward, has been one of the key components of Chelsea’s success. Alongside the summer signings of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, who were acquired from Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, Hazard has inspired Chelsea to play some breathtaking soccer over the last few months.

According to the Express Real Madrid and Paris-Saint Germain have also been impressed with Eden Hazard’s form, which is what has provoked them to step up their efforts to purchase the player when the transfer window opens in January. However, the publication doesn’t mention any sources in their piece, which means that this rumor should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Both clubs are hopeful that they might be able to prize the player away from the Premier League outfit too. The Belgian is currently negotiating a new deal with Chelsea. Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid feel that their presence might result in Hazard having second thoughts over committing his long-term future to the club.

Jose Mourinho will go all out to keep Eden Hazard at Chelsea though, and the Portuguese manager is confident that he will put pen to paper on a new deal in the near future.

While talking about young members of his squad, Mourinho noted that they will make up his side for the next couple of years at least. “If they’re happy to be here, like Eden is showing, he will sign a new contract sooner or later, they can basically be the Chelsea team for the next few years,” Mourinho explained.

Last month Eden Hazard, via the Mirror, admitted that he was very happy at Chelsea and dismissed rumors that he would leave by declaring, “Is there a club that makes me dream? Yes, Chelsea. They are the only club that makes me dream.”
