Premier League reports: Real Madrid want £75 million striker while Eden Hazard willing to accept less wage to join the Galacticos and more - April 12, 2019

Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer reports for the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Premiership!

Solskjaer on Herrera’s future

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed that Ander Herrera’s uncertainty regarding his future at Old Trafford might be one of the reasons for his injury.

Herrera’s contract ends this summer and he is going to be a free agent after that. He reportedly has an offer from PSG but Solskjaer has claimed that he can’t make any comments on the Spaniard’s contractual situation as they are focusing on getting him back to his optimum fitness.

“Maybe his future has been a worry for him and maybe that’s part of the reason he picked up another injury,” Solskjær said.

“All I know is that he’s been working really hard to get back fit again after the injury he sustained against Liverpool. I can’t really comment on how far we are down the line with his contract talks, we’ve been letting him focus on his fitness.”

The former United striker then revealed that the midfielder is not happy right now because his injury is preventing him from helping the tea. He then stated that the former Athletic star always gives his best on the pitch, regardless of how long he has in his contract before adding that he could be back on the pitch against Manchester City or Chelsea.

“He’s not happy at the moment because he cannot help his teammates. He loves to play, he would always give his all whether he has five weeks or five years left on his contract.

“I would have no problem playing him either but he will not be ready for West Ham, hopefully we might see him against Manchester City or Chelsea.”

Aspas’ advice to Madrid

FC Barcelona v RC Celta de Vigo - La Liga

Former Liverpool star Iago Aspas has advised Real Madrid to not sign Paul Pogba or N’Golo Kante. The Spaniard also praised Eden Hazard and Kylian Mbappe and stated that he would have signed either one of the two for Real Madrid but did add that Hazard is going to be cheaper than the French sensation.

He then went on to add that he already likes the midfielder that Real Madrid have and pointed out Dani Ceballos, who, he believes, hasn’t progressed much since turning 21. He also added that he likes Thiago Alcantara more than the aforementioned French duo of midfielders.

"Of the players that I like, I would sign Hazard or [Kylian] Mbappe, because Hazard is going to be more affordable than Mbappe,” he said.

"Pogba or Kante are not players for Real Madrid. I like their central midfield.

"They also have [Dani] Ceballos, who is an international but has not progressed as much since turning 21.

"Thiago Alcantara, for example, I like more than Pogba and Kante."

Hazard doesn’t want to talk about his future

Chelsea FC v West Ham United - Premier League

Chelsea star Eden Hazard expressed his lack of interest in talking about his future. Linked with a move to Real Madrid, he claimed that there are rumours all over the place surrounding him.

However, he has another month to go in the season with Chelsea and stated that he wants to win the Europa League as well as qualify for the Champions League next season before promising that they will give it their 100% to achieve those goals.

"My future is not something that I want to talk about right now,” he said.

"There are rumours left and right but for me, I have another month with Chelsea. And the end of the season it could be wonderful if we win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League for next year.

"We will have to give our all and after that we will see what will happen."

Harry Kane and Eden Hazard

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

Real Madrid have been in the hunt for a striker for years now and they might finally pull the trigger in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to reports, the first priority of the Galacticos is to sign Harry Kane from Spurs, who is valued at £75 million.

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard desires to join Real Madrid so much that he is willing to accept Real Madrid’s modest salary package, which is much less than what Chelsea are willing to offer.

According to reports, Chelsea have offered him €18 million annually for five years but Hazard has rejected it. At Madrid, the board is willing to offer no more than €14 million-a-year for the Belgian as they don’t want to break the wage structure of the club.

The wage structure of the club is so rigid that they refused to sign Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba because they were asking for astronomical salaries.
