If you had 2 options next year from Real (this assumes a lot, in that Hazard needs to refuse to renew, and that Real would do this swap, which they wont, lol) would you take 1 Verane and Isco for Hazard 2 Verane and Asensio for Hazard I would do either and toss in Luiz or Fabregas plus cash too (if needed) for makeweight Hell, make it 2 for 2 and add Wilian plus Hazard for Verane plus either Isco or Asensio I will leave Kovacic out, and make that a straight buy

He is a fool to not go on loan to Schalke. He would start most games (they lost Goreztka to Bayern and Max Meyer to Palace, both on frees) and have Champions League footie. This is their CMF and AMF, only Harit is top quality atm, new boy Serdar may be soon, McKennie even further down the road, but it is HARDLY the level of comp for time he has here

'We want to give Balotelli a leadership role' - Nice president backs Italy ace http://www.goal.com/en/news/we-want-to-give-balotelli-a-leadership-role-nice-president-backs-/680w2g91mzgb1m2w1i8dq4p3j President of the Cote d'Azur side Jean-Pierre Rivere has insisted that Italy international has done nothing wrong this summer Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere refuted the suggestion that Mario Balotelli only stayed at the club because he failed to secure a move to Marseille and has said he will be given a more pre-eminent role in the team. Balotelli was expected to leave Nice following the club's failure to qualify for European football last season, which Rivere explained prompted a reduction in the Italy striker's salary. Rivere revealed that the 28-year-old received a "very, very large financial offer" from a club in the Chinese Super League and entered discussions with a number of French clubs, including Marseille, but opted to remain at Allianz Riviera for a third season. The Nice chief insisted claims that Balotelli remained at the club by default are "totally wrong", telling their official website: "He made this choice despite the absence of Europe and in less advantageous salary conditions than elsewhere. "He has shown us his desire to stay and his dedication to the club. From now on it is registered, contractualised. We want to give him a leadership role. The coach will have him with him and make every effort to make the best season possible. "We are very happy with this situation, we have a player totally invested in our project." Rivere also moved to quell speculation that Balotelli, who has served two games of a three-match suspension so far this season, disrespected the club by failing to report for training. "It bothers me a lot that one might think that Mario did something wrong, because it's not true," he added.

We will be picking up 2 of these for sure!!

If he came on a free,why not? He is far more mature now that 5 years back, and certainly is better goal scorer than any striker we have, unless Morata finally comes good. But, as stated by others, he signed another 1 year deal with Nice, so no go.

We have different visions of what is the real deal. I would take Mbappe over ANY player on the planet today (due to Messi and CR7 age), and Pele would dominate in today's game. Total matches: 1,375 Goals scored: 1,285 https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_jogos_e_gols_marcados_por_Pelé

I still think ZZ is the favourite. The only jobs big enough to interest him would be Manure, Juve, PSG, and the French national team. I cannot see him ever managing Barca. Bayern maybe long down the road.

Balotelli signed a new contract at Nice, so he was probably a stumbling block for potential suitors (Marseille, Roma, Napoli, etc). Ah, I missed that, I just saw that he will stay with Nice one more year. I think if Mino was not his agent, we might have had a shot at a free with him. He probably ends up in China for a mega payday next year would be my guess. Who knows, lol. FAR worse cities to live in than Nice at least!. Beats the shit outta Manchester.

Pep would be insane to give him up. Only LW'ers I would think he would (in a hypothetical) swap Sane for are Neymar, Coutinho and Eden. Age gap comes into play too, as Sane is only 22.

I am, I admit, a bit surprised Barca failed to get him. They wanted him badly for years. He has a crazy bad temper though, but a hell of a player indeed.

Having Mino Raiola as their agent pretty much means none of these will come here. Other than Balo on a free, none are on my wish list. Kean maybe down the road. Marco Verratti Gianluigi Donnarumma Hirving Lozano Mario Balotelli <<<< could still sign on a free Justin Kluivert Moise Kean Kenny Tete

Straight buy, I would go up to Jorginho level cash, Kovacic is a special talent. I will go fucking mental if Real go cockblocktopus on us with him.

Yes, at the moment, but he can switch to France via ancestry and notifying FIFA

Isco and Varane for Hazard

LOLOL, it sounds like American pro wrestling, lolol

Romelu Lukaku was the last one, thank god, unless I am forgetting someone.

Mino Raiola is the perfect example of a greedy leech agent. True parasite.

The agent is demanding 10m euros luxury fee.

Zero chance Real pay 90m euros total for a 30yo part time starter. I can dream though, lolol
