Real Madrid open to selling Eden Hazard, Chelsea and other Premier League clubs declare interest - Reports 

Real Madrid are reportedly open to selling Eden Hazard in January. Chelsea and Newcastle United are said to be in the race to sign the Belgian when the transfer window opens.

As per a report in ABC Blogs, Eden Hazard's time at Real Madrid is coming to an end. They claim Los Blancos are looking to sell the former Chelsea man in January if a good offer arrives.

Carlo Ancelotti has been using Vinicius Jr on the left-wing this season and the Brazilian has done well so far. Hinting at continuing with the youngster on the wings, the Italian manager recently said:

"The problem [Eden Hazard] has right now is he has a coach who prefers another player [Vinicius Jr]. What's important is the player has the motivation to work to play. He is doing that. [He] has to keep fighting. Sometimes it happens, there are moments when the coach prefers others."

The Real Madrid manager opened the doors for former Chelsea star Eden Hazard's exit as well when he said he would never hold a player against their will.

"Never in my coaching career have I forced a player to stay when they want to leave," he told the media. "In my personal opinion, there is no question about that. If a player wants to leave, he will leave. There is not much doubt about this."
