Eden Hazard In connection with Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane Speaks Up

DBasia.news –  The Chelsea wing striker, Eden Hazard, continues to be linked with Real Madrid, especially at the start of this season since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus.

Although later decided to stay, it did not necessarily make the news related to his move subsided, on the contrary, the Belgian player is believed to soon continue his career at the Santiago Bernabeu, especially now the club owner of 33 La Liga titles has returned to play under the direction of Zinedine Zidane.

After a long silence, Zidane finally spoke up. The Frenchman admitted that he had long been monitoring Hazard’s performance and thought he was one of the fantastic players.

“Eden Hazard is one of the players I value. He is fantastic. At the moment I don’t want to discuss some things that might happen in the future (the issue of Hazard’s move to Real Madrid), the 2018/19 season is not over yet,” said Zidane as reported by the BBC.

“Hazard had a career in France, I often saw his performance and I knew him personally,” added the 46-year-old coach.

The issue of the departure of Hazard has indeed re-surfaced in recent months, especially after the talk of his new contract still has not shown significant development. Not only that, but the former Lille player also had several times expressed the desire to play in Zidane’s direction.

Real Madrid will certainly be a club that is quite busy throughout the summer of 2019 as they will make a squad overhaul. Besides Hazard, the club founded in 1902 was also associated with several other names such as Sadio Mane, Paul Pogba and Adrien Rabiot.
