Real Madrid were not able to find a direct replacement when Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus this summer, with Real madrid's poor start to the season suggesting they need a big name to fill the void left by the Portuguese.
With his excellent start to life back in the Premier League, Eden Hazard has shown why he is a potential transfer target for the European champions, and it seems as though the Belgian is more than keen to move.
"Let me put it this way, if I ever get the chance to play for Real Madrid I'll be happy, and if not, I'll be happy at Chelsea. There you have it" the Belgian national team captain told 'HLN'.
While his future remains in the balance, the winger's diplomatic approach will mean that both Chelsea and Real Madrid fans will have hope that Hazard will be playing for their team next season.
