New Real Madrid boss Zidane to launch £100m move for Chelsea winger Hazard

Real Madrid are again being linked with a big-money move for Chelsea's Eden Hazard.

Multiple news outlets are suggesting that new Real manager Zinedine Zidane is determined to lure the Belgian winger to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.

It is believed that Zidane is prepared to fork out £100million for Hazard despite the fact he has been well below his best for the Blues this season.

Zidane has previously expressed his fondness for 24-year-old reigning Premier League Player of the Year Hazard, indicating that a move for his services could be imminent in the next summer transfer window.

"After Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Hazard is my favourite player," revealed Zidane last year.

"It is spectacular to see him play.

"Do I see him going to Real Madrid? I love the player, that's all I will say."
