#1 Lukaku and Asensio

Chelsea want him

Apropos to the slide on Hazard to Real Madrid, there just can’t be a day where the Belgian is not linked to the Galacticos. As it turns out, it is good for business and that means this will continue for a long time.

According to Don Balon, Chelsea are aware of Madrid’s interest in their star player and also of Hazard’s love for the Galacticos. As a result, they are willing to let him go to the Santiago Bernabeu but only on one condition.

Apparently, the Blues are interested in signing Marco Asensio, who has a €500 million release clause, from the Merengues and will only consider negotiating for the former Lille star should the young Spaniard be allowed to go the other way.

Meanwhile, Madrid’s striker problems are apparent, which is why they have been linked with a plethora of players. According to this report from Don Balon, the Galacticos are now looking at Romelu Lukaku as a means to solve their forward crisis.
