Chelsea identify £60m La Liga ace as Eden Hazard replacement

The Sun reports that Chelsea will demand at least £80 million for Eden Hazard if Real Madrid want to sign the Belgian this summer.

Hazard has endured a miserable season at Chelsea since being voted Player of the Year for 2014-15 and appeared to be unhappy under previous manager Jose Mourinho, even if he publicly insisted he wasn’t.

Torres is out of contract in the summer and Atletico manager Diego Simeone has been evasive when asked about whether he would like the player to extend his stay in Madrid.

Griezmann, 24, has always been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge after a terrific couple of seasons in La Liga for Atletico Madrid.

And Hiddink confirmed that the player could leave the club next summer: “It’s not up to me – it’s up to the club. He has a long-term contract, and for us he is very important”. He has this injury and that came back in the Palace game [on January 3].

However, Cerezo insists no club has made any offer for Griezmann. Hopefully he is coming back to where he was before.

Well if so, we want you to get in contact with us and share your whispers, rumours, gossip and stories as we fast approach the closing of the winter window.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are lining up a move for Griezmann in the event that they lose Eden Hazard. “Everyone who is a candidate for being a big player in the upcoming time, then the Euros, it’s a attractive period”.
