5 players Real Madrid should sign instead of Neymar

#1 Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard is expected to swap clubs this summer

The Eden Hazard to Real Madrid saga may finally have a conclusion this season. Chelsea's disappointing and the Belgian's craving for a UEFA Champions League medal coupled with Los Blancos' increasing need for a star attacker makes the deal seem more likely.

Eden Hazard will definitely come cheap in comparison to Neymar. But, Real need to be aware of the fact that the Chelsea man is more of a traditional playmaker who creates chances rather than scoring 30 goals a season. However, he does have the ability to chip in important goals during times of need.

Hazard's playmaking ability would help Cristiano Ronaldo score twice the bucket load of goals he usually scores.

The quoted price for Hazard is £100 million and adding either of Bale or Benzema to the deal will definitely make it work, won't it?
