Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois head Real Madrid 4 man wishlist

These are difficult times for Chelsea fans. Two of their star players, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard want to move to Real Madrid, according to the Independent.

Following Belgium's third-place playoff win against England, Hazard said,

"After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different. Certainly after this World Cup."

“I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision – if they want me to go. You know my preferred destination.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea are hoping to get at least £37.5 million for Courtois.

Miralem Pjanic and Leonardo Bonucci of AC Milan are the other two players that Lopetegui wants to rope in.
