Real Madrid want James and Morata out, Hazard and Courtois in
Zidane thinks the Belgian is compatible with the BBC and Cristiano is nearing the end of his career
Florentino Perez would like to replace the erratic Keylor Navas with a better goalkeeper
According to The Guardian, Real Madrid want to fish in Chelsea waters to redesign their squad. Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard are top of the shopping list, with the Belgian internationals key parts of Antonio Conte’s side, top of the Premier League.
Madrid are convinced they can lure them, having made contact with Hazard’s people, although it seems like the winger is set to stay in London. They will try and convince him that he will not become the next James Rodriguez, who can only occasionally get in the team at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Perez is aware Cristiano Ronaldo’s career is coming to an end and wants to prepare Madrid for a post-Ronaldo era. Alvaro Morata and James could enter into a potential deal, as they look to sign the two Chelsea stars.
Conte had Morata at Juventus and the Blues are interested in him. Hazard said in a recent interview, “if I left Chelsea it would be after winning a league,” which they will do this season.
The reason Madrid want Courtois is to replace Keylor Navas, who has been erratic this season. Madrid have had difficulties trying to sign David de Gea.
