Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid transfer news and roundup of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Galacticos!
Graeme Souness on Eden Hazard
Former Liverpool superstar Graeme Souness is of the opinion that Eden Hazard should leave Chelsea for pasture new at Real Madrid. The Belgian has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for a while now and the Liverpool legend thinks that he should go on with it.
Souness believes that he needs a fresh challenge at Madrid and is aware that Chelsea fans won’t be pleased with his views. He then added that while Hazard has been one of the best players in the Premier League for a while now, there is more to come from him and that this summer is his last chance to prove that.
“Eden needs the fresh challenge of moving to Real Madrid this summer,” Souness said.
“I know Chelsea’s fans won’t thank me for saying so and we’ll all miss watching the player who’s probably been the best in the Premier League over the past three or four seasons.
“But there’s more to come from Hazard and it’s now or never for him to prove that.”
Souness went on to claim that the Belgian needs to be pushed to a new level, which he is capable of, and score around 30 goals in a season. He also noted that Chelsea would be worse without the presence of his greatness.
“He needs to be extended and pushed because he’s capable of going to another level, where he scores 30-plus goals a season.’
“Where will Chelsea be without him? To lose him would be a huge blow because he’s their one outstanding talent.”
Declan Rice to Real Madrid?
Yes, that’s the mill for you. According to journalist Scott Minto, Real Madrid are looking at the possibility of signing West Ham ace Declan Rice. Minto praised the midfielder’s all-round ability while adding that he chose England over Ireland because he was told he could be a huge player for the Three Lions.
He then added that his reliable source has informed of Madrid’s interest and that they are speaking to his family.
“He’s physical, he’s quick, his maturity for his age is incredible and he’s getting better and better and better with every game,” he said.
“Big decision obviously to leave the Republic of Ireland and go to England. Clearly he was told, not, ‘You’re going to get into the team’, but: ’You have a massive future and could be what we need for the national side.’
“I’m hearing that even Real Madrid are knocking on the door and speaking to his family and I’m not going to tell you [who], it’s a reliable source.
Joao Felix and Timo Werner
Joao Felix seems to be the talk of the town after scoring a hattrick against Frankfurt in the Europa League. According to ABC, he has actually been offered to Real Madrid, who can sign him for just €60 million – even though he has a release clause of €120 million – but the condition is that they would have to pay more with clauses like titles won or when the youngster reaches individual milestones with the Galacticos.
The report also states that Luka Jovic and Mauro Icardi have also been offered to the Merengues.
Meanwhile, Timo Werner is not going to sign a new deal with Leipzig according to CEO Oliver Mintzlaff. Werner has been linked with Real Madrid and Liverpool.
“We want to extend it with him, but he has signalled to us that he would rather not extend,” he said.
