Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid latest transfer news and rumours roundup. Here are the top stories surrounding the Blancos!

#3 Hazard could join in January

Eden Hazard and Real Madrid has been a love story that we will not hear the end of until the player actually joins the club. After Ronaldo's departure, everyone expected the Galacticos to sign a big name to fill the void.

When it became clear that neither Neymar nor Kylian Mbappe could be signed by the Merengues, Hazard popped up as the main target for them. The player himself admitted to wanting to play for the Madrid outfit somewhere down the line, further fueling the stories.

And now, according to OK Diario, the Galacticos could actually land him in January itself. The report claims that Chelsea want to cash in on him before they lose him for cheap as his contract ends in 2020.

This report is something that former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer had predicted a month ago. He claimed that he wasn't sure if Hazard would stay in January. His reasoning was that the Galacticos are having a nightmarish time in the league and could put in a big offer for the player.

“I’m not sure he won’t leave Chelsea in January,” Schwarzer had said.

“He’s got just under two years left on his contract and Real are having a shocker and if they offer a lot of money for him and Chelsea are adamant he won’t re-sign, then what are the club going to do?"

He also added that Hazard's decision could depend on Chelsea's position in the league while praising Hazard for his honesty.

“Depending on where Chelsea are in the league, that could play a big part.

“I admire him for him being honest in saying he wants to go to Real which is one of the most successful clubs in the world.”

#2 Dortmund want to sign Hakimi permanently and a bit of Marcelo

Achraf Hakimi has stepped his game up big time after joining Borussia Dortmund on loan for two years. Quite ironically, he is having a better time in Germany than his replacement Alvaro Odriozola is having at Real Madrid.

Hakimi has played 10 games in the Champions League and Bundesliga combined and has assisted 6 times while also scoring a goal. As a result, the German outfit are keen on signing him on a permanent basis, as they did with Paco Alcacer, who also initially joined on loan.

"Dear Paco Alcacer, welcome to Borussia Dortmund," Watze said at the club's general meeting, as per Sport. "We hope to do the same with Achraf Hakimi, but it will not be easy."

Meanwhile, according to an exclusive from CalcioMercato, Juventus want to sign Marcelo in January. However, Florentino Perez has informed them that he has no intention to sell the Brazilian.

#1 Story of the day

So here is the story of the day and it is a complete contradiction to the report mentioned in the first slide. While Eden Hazard has been touted to sign for Real Madrid in January, there is a claim from Don Balon that is totally different.

According to the report, Hazard is apparently fed up of Real Madrid. He has run out of options to attract Madrid and despite already expressing his desire to play for the Galacticos one day, the Merengues are yet to make a serious move for him.

As a result, he is now looking for another option. Apparently, PSG are also tracking him and could make a move to sign him very soon. The report goes on to state that the French giants are preparing a €180 million offer to sign the Belgium captain.
