Mohamed Bouhafsi is a reliable journalist who is a Tier 1 source in our Football Transfer Sources Reliability Guide. So this news from such a reliable source will come as a shock to Chelsea fans who will be desperate to hold on to Hazard. The problem for them is that, even Real Madrid are desperate for some superstar signings after their dismal start to the season. They need to replace their aging attack with Benzema and Bale being the likely ones to move away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Transfer Rumour Rating- 7/10
Bouhafsi is a very reliable source for French transfer news, so this rumour might be very close to the truth. This doesn’t indicate whether Hazard is close to signing for Real Madrid or not but Chelsea will be certainly worried if he doesn’t sign a new contract soon.
