Spanish paper claims Eden Hazard “considering Chelsea transfer request!

Spanish paper AS are today reporting that Eden Hazard is “considering” handing in a transfer request at Chelsea to secure his move to Real Madrid, should the two clubs not come to an agreement themselves before too long.

You can see the English version of their article here, where they go into significant detail on the whole affair.

Essentially, despite the sensationalist headline, they don’t make too many outlandish claims in the paper. What they say is that Hazard may resort to handing in an official request – but obviously he would rather not.

It makes him seem keen to leave, and may damage the relationship with the fans he’s spent so long carefully managing.

The clubs are only €20m or so apart according on their valuations, according to this piece, so hopefully things can sort themselves out without the need for the Belgian to put in a transfer request – or even worse, force a move like his mate Thibaut did last summer.

All three parties have the same desire here – a smooth PR move for the star from Chelsea to Madrid. If they all play nice, there’s no reason for transfer requests or anything similar.
