Real Madrid demand Chelsea sell Eden Hazard in Alvaro Morata transfer talks - report

REAL MADRID have reportedly told Chelsea they can sign Alvaro Morata - if they get Eden Hazard in return.

 
Chelsea are determined to raid Real Madrid for Morata after missing out on top transfer target Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United.
The Blues were expected to land the Belgium international but former boss Jose Mourinho gazumped them by sealing a £75million deal.
That has prompted them to turn to Morata instead, with Antonio Conte keen to work with a player who he played a key role in signing for Juventus before leaving in 2014.
The Spain international has been included on Real's pre-season tour of America but, unless Karim Benzema goes, is expected to spend next campaign stuck on the bench if he stays. 
And Spanish outlet Diario Gol claim Real have told Chelsea in negotiations for Morata they would be more inclined to sell if Hazard is allowed to move to the Bernabeu.
Madrid have long harboured hopes of signing the player, who played a starring role as the Blues eased to the Premier League title last season.
Manager Zinedine Zidane is a strong admirer of the winger and could get his man if Chelsea are willing to do whatever it takes to bring Morata to Stamford Bridge.
The report adds that any potential arrival of Hazard would plunge Real's bid for Monaco's Kylian Mbappe into doubt.
The teenager's stock is high after a stunning breakthrough season where he scored 26 goals and inspired Leonardo Jardim's side to a first Ligue 1 title since 2000.
It is said that Real could abandon their pursuit of the 18-year-old because they feel Hazard would be a better acquisition.

The prospect of the 26-year-old being fielded in a team also consisting of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will no doubt excite supporters.
However, speaking back in April, Hazard outlined his desire to stay at Stamford Bridge.
"I'm very well here. I have stuff to finish this year.
“I have a contract until 2020," he said.
"Voila, for now I'm here.
“I take it one game at a time, try to do the maximum, and that’s it."
