Real Madrid are confident of acquiring Eden Hazard from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol.
Kaveh’s information tends to be pretty hit and miss – and Chelsea fans will no doubt be desperately hoping that he’s got this one wrong.
He tweeted early on Friday morning saying…
Real Madrid confident of signing Paul Pogba & Eden Hazard this summer. Pogba has been criticised for his performances during Manchester United's recent run of poor form and is set to leave if they fail to qualify for the Champions League

Real Madrid clearly have significant plans to overhaul the squad and give Zinedine Zidane a chance of winning La Liga for the first time since 2017.
Their ambition to bring in Paul Pogba from Manchester United may well play a part in convincing Hazard that their project is one he doesn’t want to miss out on.

Pogba has been dealt his fair share of the blame for United’s troubles of late, but he’s an immensely talented player being shackled by the average players he’s surrounded by.
You could probably say the same for our Eden.
Even if Kaveh is right in saying that confidence is growing at the Santiago Bernabeu, it’s far from saying that any deal is signed and sealed.
We remain hopeful that Hazard can be convinced to stay.
