The Eden Hazard to Real Madrid saga has been going on for months now, and the coming summer will be the appropriate time for Zinedine Zidane to put an end to it.

The Belgian has always been rated amongst the top five players of this generation and is on course to becoming a modern-day legend. He is an explosive attacking package and almost unplayable at the height of his powers. He is mostly seen as the successor to Real Madrid kingpin Cristiano Ronaldo than as a successor to Gareth Bale.

Nonetheless, his two-footedness will allow him to be the obvious choice between himself and the Welshman. Added to that, Hazard is very less prone to injuries in contrast to Bale.

Signing him certainly means emptying a certain amount of coffers for Florentino Perez because Chelsea will demand a fee more or less equal to the one PSG paid for Neymar. But, taking their financial muscle into consideration, will that really a problem for the Spanish giants?
