5 players who will cost more than Philippe Coutinho's £142m transfer fee

#4 Eden Hazard

Hazard is a supreme talent

When Real Madrid are always linked to one specific player, there is a chance that the move could happen eventually. Eden Hazard is one of the most consistent performers in the league ever since he joined Chelsea.

However, there is a feeling coasting around in the air that he might not have unleashed his absolute best as of yet—and a move to someplace else might just do it for him. His transition from a talented youngster at Lille to a world-beater in Chelsea has been as smooth as it could be.

Perhaps it was just too smooth.

Hazard can easily be a player in the Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo bracket, but he has been at Chelsea for so long that it has become a comfort zone. And he knows it and that is perhaps why he has rejected two new contracts in order to force a move to some other club.

But rest assured, Chelsea are not a financially weak club and Hazard is a world class player—so you do the math.
