Real Madrid is keen on Reece James but the defender might cost them Eden Hazard and a few million in cash. 
 

CHELSEA ASK ABOUT HAZARD RETURN

Having re-signed Romelu Lukaku in the summer, Chelsea is said to be looking to bring back another of their former stars…

The Blues have already made inquiries over the possibility of a reunion with Eden Hazard. The Belgium winger was brilliant for Chelsea before going to Real Madrid in 2019, since when he has stunk out the Bernabeu.
 

El Nacional reckons Roman Abramovich believes Hazard’s struggles to be just a phase and that the winger could once again recapture his best form back at Stamford Bridge.

Real would be open to a deal, but perhaps not at the terms Chelsea is offering.

The story goes that the Blues are only willing to pay £34million for Hazard – around a third of the fee Real stumped up a couple of years ago. There might be a compromise, though…

Real need a right-back and may ask for an exchange with Reece James. Chelsea value the 21-year-old at around £38million so could demand that Real stuff Hazard’s pockets with cash before sending him back to the Bridge.
