Jose Mourinho’s decision to drop Eden Hazard has put Real Madrid on red alert, according to reports in Spain.
The Chelsea manager revealed he left the Belgian out of the starting line-up against Aston Villa due to concerns about the solidity of his midfield – but such matters are rarely a concern in Madrid.
The Spanish side will never resist the challenge of accommodating another attacking player, and Hazard could be reunited with former Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez if reports in Fichajes are to be believed.
With rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo trading Madrid for Paris likely to resurface next summer, Los Merengues could well be on the lookout for a younger model.
