#1 Eden Hazard (Chelsea to Real Madrid)

Chelsea v Newcastle United - Premier League — It would be great to see Hazard replacing Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

European champions, Real Madrid lost an important figure when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club to complete a famous move to Juventus this summer.

His departure has put Los Blancos in a desperate position to sign another incredible superstar as a replacement, with Chelsea playmaker, Eden Hazard emerging as one of the favourites to fill the shoes of the Portuguese at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Hazard himself welcomed the speculations surrounding him and refused to rule out a move to the Spanish capital. Speaking in a recent interview during the World Cup, the 27-year-old was quoted saying:

"It's true that Zidane is special but Real Madrid would be a dream for anyone,"

"With or without Zidane the Real Madrid shirt is special.''

The playmaker is one of the most talented attackers in the world at the moment, making him an ideal option to replace Ronaldo at Madrid. In fact, everyone is expecting the Belgian to switch to Santiago Bernabeu and that could be one of the most interesting transfers of summer.
