Real Madrid looking to sell James Rodriguez and Isco to fund transfer of Chelsea’s Eden Hazard

Real Madrid are reportedly ready to move for Chelsea star Eden Hazard in the summer transfer window if they manage to raise the funds for a bid by selling two key midfielders.

According to sources in Spain, Real could offload both James Rodriguez and Isco in order to bring in the money required to launch an offer for the in-form Hazard.

The Belgian attacker is known to be one of Zinedine Zidane’s favourite players, and has been linked with Real on several occasions in the past.

Now back to his best this term after a dip in form in 2015/16, it is little surprise to see reports that Hazard is on the Spanish giants’ radar once again, with claims yesterday that Zidane has already held personal talks with the player.

According to COPE, there is more to the story as Real look to offload Rodriguez and Isco to interested clubs in a bid to ensure they can afford Hazard, and they shouldn’t be short of suitors.

Rodriguez was linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in January and is now a rumoured target for Monaco, while Tottenham and Juventus are mentioned as potential suitors for Isco.
