#4 Hazard might go to Real Madrid
If Hudson-Odoi believes that his pathway to Chelsea’s first team is blocked right now – by Eden Hazard, Willian, Pedro and the incoming Christian Pulisic – and assuming he’s not willing to wait for Willian and Pedro’s skills to wane, then the Blues would probably do well to convince him to stay until the end of the season at least. Why? Because that’s when they may well lose Hazard.

Chelsea may not want to sell the Belgian star – they may well believe that they’d rather lose Hudson-Odoi than Hazard, and few would disagree. Hazard is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest players right now. But if Real Madrid come knocking in the summer, it’s been proven time after time than when Los Blancos want a player, they usually get him, regardless of whether the player’s club want to sell.
The last scenario that Chelsea would want would be to sell Hudson-Odoi to Bayern now, and then end up having to sell Hazard in the summer to Real too. But the truth of the matter is that if Real do come in for the Belgian, the Blues may not have any choice but to sell. That’s why they should move heaven and earth to keep Hudson-Odoi; the development of such a talented youngster might not soften the blow of losing Hazard initially, but in the long run, it may not be such a bad move.
