Hazard should be sold
Retired Dutch footballer Mario Melchiot is of the opinion that Chelsea should look to sell Eden Hazard to Real Madrid this season. The Belgian has been linked to the Galacticos and Melchiot thinks that letting him go for free next season won’t be wise.
He also added that while, as a fan, he doesn’t want to see Hazard leaving, from a strict business point of view, it would be foolish to keep him at the club and then lose him for free in 2020.
“Keeping him for another year and letting him go for free? That would be bad business,” he said.
“As a fan, all along I want to keep Hazard until the last minute. But as a business it would not be a smart move to hold onto him. You don’t want to let anybody walk out for free. If you can get a lot of money for him… he’s on his last year and still has a value of around £100m. If they can get that for him, it would be great.”
