Real Madrid explore Morata swap deal for Chelsea star Hazard

Real Madrid are willing to send Alvaro Morata to Chelsea in exchange for Eden Hazard.

The Daily Mirror is of the belief that Zinedine Zidane is eager to lure Belgian playmaker Hazard to the Santiago Bernabeu by sending Spanish striker Morata the other way.

Real recently purchased Morata back from Juventus for £23million and now have the option to sell him on for a fee of around £45m.

It is believed that the Champions League winners are prepared to offer 23-year-old Morata plus cash to land 25-year-old Hazard.

However, incoming Blues boss Antonio Conte is keen to keep Hazard at Stamford Bridge after his impressive end to an otherwise drab 2015/16 season, plus his recent form for Belgium at Euro2016.
