Eden Hazard - The First Piece of the New Real Madrid?

The end of season cannot come sooner for Real Madrid as they has been nothing short of dreadful. After suffering utter embarrassment for the entire first half of 2019, Los Blancos have to take action in either revamping their entire formation strategy or look to the transfer market. The club has chosen the latter, which shall prove to be a significantly expensive decision also requiring swift results i.e. the summer league trophy kind.
For that, they need people who can not only score goals but win games, on that roster Eden Hazard has been fairly preferred by the club, especially by their now manager, Zindane. The news has remained disclosed from the public eye as Real’s president, Florentino Perez, has felt that information relating to the Hazard’s departure from his club mid-season; would insight more rage than enthusiasm. However, Madrid have reportedly met with the player and discussed personal terms on contract agreements and his place in the club’s future.



Hazard has out performed in the Premier League, having recorded more assists than any other player with no one having dribbled past opponents more routinely. Being the top scorers in his club, losing Hazard would servce as a serious setback for Chelsea, because not only would Chelsea be losing its top player but because the club will have to sign up two to three star players to meet the gap, Hazard shall be leaving. 
Hazard will be the first of many players, this summer, that shall spark the Real Madrid team back to life. Adamant by the dip in their quality especially after Cristiano Ronaldo left, leaving a huge vacuum, due to differences in goals and vision. Also stated by Zidane last year that the “club needed to change” as a reason for his departure. Almost as if he knew that the club was going to hit rock bottom and both Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari would ultimately be unable to stop the fall.
However with his return to the club this March; Zidane has been desperate to coach the Belgian international. 
However, the question still remains, how much Chelsea will ask for Hazard? One of their best players. As even the slightest tip in price could effect this deal, but considering Real has placed a budget of 460 million pounds for acquiring players: Paul Pogba, Christian Eriksen, Luka Jovic, Tanguy Ndombélé and also Eden Hazard for the summer league, it would be safe to assume that Hazard will be changing his uniform sooner that we would have expected. 
Initially, the club president was unwilling to pay such a huge fee for the above players, with some having very little left on their contracts, but as their season’s track record has progressed even worse, Florentino Perez and co. have accepted that signing Hazard alone, would be enough break their clubs transfer record.
