Good afternoon ED002 - I hope you are safe and well.

I have done a search on Eden Hazard and the last time his name was mentioned on here was May 2021. Do you have any recent notes on your database about him such as are Real Madrid looking to move him on, does he want to move on and what clubs maybe interested.

Also, are Chelsea likely to sign Saul Niguez after his season long loan? Does Niguez want to stay or move back to Athleti, and what clubs are interested if he is to move from Madrid?

Many thanks - KR65

{Ed002's Note - Eden Hazard (LW/RW) Real Madrid have problems one way or another with most of their wingers. Hazard will be another that Real Madrid will listen to offers for and he has already been offered to several Premier League sides. West Ham indicated at the right price they would be interested but the player would not be interested in such a move. It is difficult to talk of the timings of transfers but Hazard is, like most of the wingers at Real Madrid, potentially available for a transfer and is being actively offered around. Whilst there is some support from someone senior at Chelsea, others are not keen to pay the asking price for a 30 year old so they are not an option. I think a move to England unlikely unless the fee drops considerably. Milan and Borussia Dortmund may offer solutions at the right price. May well be offered to Lille as part of another transfer. Has been offered to Newcastle as well - and they are open to further discussions.

Saul Niguez (CM) Chelsea have an option on Saul and may or may not take it up - I suspect they might not but but whilst they are looking to integrate Conor Gallagher they also know there will be midfield departures. Two other sides have asked to be kept informed of the situation as we move toward the summer and a couple of others might declare an interest - most notable is Barcelona who are trying to balance extending youngsters, raising funds through sales and adding some experience.}
