Eden Hazard to Real Madrid done

Former Arsenal striker Paul Mariner believes that the Chelsea wizard has already completed a deal to move to the Santiago Bernabeu next season. The Belgian has been linked with a move to the Merengues ever since his fine showing at the World Cup and the subsequent departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Blancos couldn’t sign him in the summer due to some complication and also failed to replace the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Galacticos are currently fifth in La Liga and will need to strengthen their core if they are to challenge for titles next season, with this season being marked out of expectations already.

And according to Mariner, a deal to bring Hazard to Real Madrid has been completed a “long time ago.”

“It’s a yes,” he said. “I think the deal’s been done a long, long time ago.”
