INSIDER: Real Madrid fancy De Bruyne as Hazard alternative

Real Madrid are planning a move for Manchester City attacker Kevin de Bruyne.

Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito, has revealed Real have De Bruyne under consideration as an alternative to Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

And adding to the story, Inda says Real intend to use Isco as a makeweight in negotiations.

He said, "Madrid are going to try to put Isco in the operation for Hazard or in a possible operation with De Bruyne.

"In the Bernabéu they say that he is not to be sold.

"(But) the hard core of the locker room is not with Isco because they consider that he is loose and out of shape. In addition, they have seen the rudeness to the coach, although they liked it when he asked for forgiveness.

"Real Madrid now wants to keep things in house because it knows that he is an asset of the club and his price can drop if it affects public opinion."
