#1 Hazard could come for cheap
According to football finance expert Kieran Maguire, Real Madrid could sign Eden Hazard for just £35 million if they wait for another year. The Belgian has been linked with the Galacticos for a while now and it seems they are playing the waiting game to reduce the price.
Hazard’s contract ends in 2020 and Maguire thinks that his price would be £70 million in the summer and would go down by half to £35 million next January, when he will have just 6 months in his contract.
“Other clubs are looking to wind down the clock in terms of his contract. He’s got 18 months to go, you would probably have to pay £120m for him now,” he said.
“But if you leave that to next summer it will probably drop to £70m. And the leave that to 12 months, it could be £35m.”
