Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid will probably be one of the costliest transfers worldwide if it is ever going to take place. The Belgian is rated heavily by his current employers and they would not let him go for anything under €100 million. Eden Hazard was linked to Real Madrid last year as well, along with his international teammate Thibaut Courtois. The latter found his way, but Eden stayed back.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri will already have brokered a deal with Eden Hazard which will see him join Real Madrid next summer, according to Express. There is already a deal in place for the Belgian.
Hazard has talked about moving to Real Madrid at several occasions saying that it is his dream to play for the Los Blancos one day, and Florentino Perez seems to be a fan of the 27-year-old as well.
Real Madrid are currently struggling to hold their position in the LaLiga table, falling behind the likes of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, sitting 6th. They have won just 6 out of their last 13 outings in LaLiga, losing 5 and tying 1.
The problems Real Madrid are facing in the attacking departments are crystal clear, and they dearly need reinforcements in the winter transfer market. Hazard, Mbappe and even Neymar were linked to the Bernabeu, but none of the deals materialised.
However, if Hazard is to join Real Madrid this coming market or the summer window, there are several players who will benefit from it. Here are some listed.
#3 Thibaut Courtois
Thibaut Courtois joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2018 and since then, the Whites have conceded 19 goals in just 13 games, with their goal difference being 1. Courtois has impressed football fans with his displays for Belgium and Chelsea, but nothing seems to go his way at the Spanish capital.
Courtois joined Real Madrid for a staggering fee of €31 million. The expectations from the Belgian international were high, but he probably could not keep up to it. He is yet to unleash his true self and the fans are waiting for it.
The arrival of Eden Hazard would help him grow confidence as they are great friends. There is no Belgium player who plays for Real Madrid except Courtois, and friends you know from a long time, help you from inside.
This duo has performed consistently at Chelsea and Belgium, and they would look to do the same at Real Madrid if they are ever to play together for the Los Blancos.
#2 Gareth Bale
The Welshman signed for Real Madrid for a then record-breaking fee of €101 million, and since then, he has scored tons of stunners for the Whites. However, his injuries have played a significant part in his career, blocking him from playing on a regular basis.
Gareth Bale commenced well this season, but with time, his consistency decreased and he rarely scores a goal these days, putting all pressure on Benzema and the midfielders to cover up for his mistakes.
The arrival of Hazard in the squad will help Gareth Bale to play more freely, without feeling the pressure of scoring regularly. Hazard's explosive bursts down the left flank are indeed terrifying, and that takes off the pressure from the likes of Modric and Kroos to create.
Hazard is a pure left winger who is immensely talented when it comes to playmaking and playing killer passes through the defence. Bale clearly performed better alongside Ronaldo. Though Hazard is nowhere near to Ronaldo's game style, Bale will have a bit of help in breaking down the toughest of defence by dribbling or by creating passing lanes.
#1 Karim Benzema
The Frenchman has not been in his best form for a few seasons now. However, Benzema has started off his new 2018-19 season with 4 goals to his name in 5 games, one less than the total number of goals he scored last season in LaLiga.
Madridistas have lacked respect for the Frenchman though, as he is pretty famous for missing sitters and bottling easy chances. He has not been up to the mark as a striker, but his ability to create plays and set up his teammates is still as good as ever.
With Gareth Bale performing inconsistently for the Los Blancos, it affects Benzema's game as well.
With Hazard on the left flank, Karim Benzema will have plenty of chances to score. He played a decent role while playing alongside Ronaldo, setting him up for goals and playing as an unofficial false nine most of the time.
The addition of Hazard in the starting eleven will help Benzema to focus more on scoring than to play passes or set up his teammates. Eden Hazard is known for his trademark dribbles through the left wing and he has been of great influence for the Chelsea forwards.
