#2 Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Chelsea v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Final
Hazard would add even more guile to Real's attack

The Belgian maestro is not exactly the type of player that could be a like-for-like replacement for Ronaldo. Hazard has never been a great goal scorer and his presence would add more creativity to an already creative team.

However, manager Lopetegui had typically always liked to have the goals shared out among his players. Therefore, getting Hazard in could be the tonic to help the other attacking players (Bale, Karin Benzema, Marco Asensio and others) get more goals.

Hazard's close control, dribbling, decision making and goal scoring would add an extra dimension to Los Merengues' attack.

The Belgian is a more direct version of Isco and the potential combination play between both players could create lots of goalscoring chances for the other players.

Chelsea will not want to lose it's best player and talisman despite the 27-year-old's often stated desire to wear Real's jersey.

A fee of €160m could be enough to seal the deal and grant the Belgian national captain his dream move.
