Real Madrid to offer Gareth Bale for Eden Hazard

Wales v Belgium - UEFA EURO 2016 Qualifier

Real Madrid are desperate to get a world-class player who can guarantee goals week in and week out and are ready to pull out all stops to ensure it happens. According to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda via Express, Los Blancos are ready to offer Welshman Gareth Bale in return for Eden Hazard.

Solari wants to make some big changes to his squad and Hazard has been a long-term target for the club now.

Inda said,

“The last chance for Chelsea to take a pasture for the player is this winter.

“It is possible to barter with Bale."

Gareth Bale has come under a great amount of criticism following his lacklustre performances as Real Madrid continue to endure one of their worst spells in recent times.

At the same time, Eden Hazard has been on fire in the Premier League. With Chelsea adjusting well to the change in management and taking to Maurizio Sarri's system like a fish to water, the Belgian has been able to unleash his full attacking Arsenal and the Premier League defenders have been having nightmares ever since.

If this deal works out, it will be the biggest one in the recent past without a doubt.
