3 reasons why Barcelona should not sign Eden Hazard

#2 Ridiculous fee

Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League — It would require a mammoth fee to lure Hazard from Chelsea

Considering the incredible abilities and influence of Eden Hazard at Stamford Bridge, it is true that Chelsea will demand an astronomical fee in order to let go of the Belgian superstar this summer. If the reports are to be believed, Barcelona will need to cough out £200 million in order to convince The Blues to part ways with their talisman.

Spending such a huge fee on a player is not advisable for Barcelona at the moment after the club spent so much to recruit the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele recently.

Besides, the idea of splashing over £200 million on the Belgian is not a good one, considering that there are other areas of the squad that also need to be strengthened. The likes of Andres Iniesta, Paulinho, and Lucas Digne have all left and should be properly replaced.
