There’s been a twist in the Eden Hazard to Real Madrid saga, which could benefit Chelsea, at least temporarily.
Hazard and Real Madrid’s interest in making this move happen is comfortably the worst kept secret of the summer so far.
While we still expect the Belgian to get his dream move to the Santiago Bernabeu, it’s not all looking straightforward for him.
According to Standard Sport, Chelsea and Real Madrid are yet to find an agreement over the fee, which has delayed the transfer.
Hazard will be forced to remain patient as Chelsea play hardball over the fee, with no resolution expected until after the international break.
The more Real Madrid are forced to wait for Hazard, the more impatient and frustrated they will grow. That could help us.
If there’s even a glimmer of hope remaining that Hazard will stay, Marina Granovskaia’s stubbornness will give us a chance.
Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but when your best player is set to depart, we will take anything that we can get!
