DBasia.news – Zinedine Zidane is Madrid’s third coach this season after previously being coached by Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari. It shows Madrid’s inconsistency in playing this season.
After Zidane’s return, Los Blancos also seemed to immediately move quickly to plan to add to the strength of his team in the summer of 2019, Eder Militao became the first recruit and was brought in from FC Porto for 50 million euros.
In addition to Militao, Madrid was reportedly still eyeing Eden Hazard, although seriously wanting to bring in the Belgian player, Madrid is reportedly frustrated by Chelsea, who remained at the point of setting a minimum price of 100 million pounds even though the player’s contract will end at the end of 2019/20.
After the last time Hazard insisted he was completely reluctant to think about rumors of his transfer to Madrid, this time it was the turn of Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri who spoke about the future of the player who also had the chance to strengthen Lille.
“If Hazard thinks his history (with Chelsea) is over, then that also applies to his mind. Yes, I can indeed invite him to speak privately, but this is not easy,” Sarri said as quoted by the Mirror.
“This is not easy because of course, I want Hazard (staying at Chelsea), but I also want Hazard who is highly motivated,” added the former Empoli manager.
In the 2018/19 season, Hazard is still an important figure in the front line of the Blues, he has appeared in 46 matches with a collection of 19 goals and 16 assists in all competitions. He also played an important role behind the success of his team to lock in the top four positions and advance to the Europa League final.
Closing the conversation, Sarri also revealed that he had talked several times regarding Hazard’s future, but according to him, the final decision remained in the player’s hand and of course the club.
“Yes, I and Hazard have had several discussions, like a father and child. I can speak to players, but more to father figures to children and not managers. I also cannot control the transfer market,” he explained.
