Real Madrid ready to pull back from plans for Chelsea ace Hazard

Real Madrid are ready to pull back from plans to sign this summer Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

Marca says Hazard's dream move to the Bernabeu is in danger of not coming to fruition.

The reigning European club champions are having second thoughts on signing the Belgium international this summer.

The impressive form of Vinicius Junior and the impending arrival of Rodrygo have prompted Real to pump the breaks on a move for the 27-year-old.

Chelsea's transfer ban - which they received for breaking FIFA regulations regarding signing players under the age of 18 - has also 'setback' Real's pursuit of the forward.

They believe the Blues will unlikely part company with their talisman following the sanction, which they are set to appeal.
