Eden Hazard

[LAM09 7,043]

I don't believe Real Madrid would pay anything close to 200M euros for a player who will be 28 in January. I believe they might wait for Mbappe next year which seems to be a smarter choice.

There's talk of the Galacticos being a thing of the past and that could be evident with their last three signings.

Players with supposedly high ceilings

More and more reasons giving hints that he will stay. Does he still want to go, even if Real looks likely will not after him?

[Hamilton 2,120]

I guess if real isnt interested he will stay, no other clubs been mentioned (maybe barca short period). If that means he will sign an extention i have no idea..

[DDA 9,929]

Eden will see what Sarri is doing and like us he will cream his knickers. Perfect time for him to cemet his legacy as the greatest player to have ever worn Chelsea blue. He will stay.. just sign on the dotted line.

Well if he stays beyond this season I cant see him moving. Real will sign a stopgap and Mbappe or neymar next year. Then there will be no place for him there

Neymar.  If I were PSG, Mbappe's face would be on everything for the next 10 years.

He wont even be 30 in 10 years. Crazy how young and good he is.

Yup, and he's from Paris.  PSG couldn't ask for anything better.  Neymar is going to be second banana soon (from a marketing perspective).  Unless Mbappe flops, which looks less likely every time he steps on the pitch.

He said once that he wouldn't leave Chelsea in a year HE didn't win a trophy. Obviously meant a Cup but ......

The only person Madrid will pay 200mil for is Neymar/Mbappe. They score more goals and are more commercial than Hazard. But Hazard will really shine in Lopetegui's system so im suspecting that Hazard wont extend his contract with us so that he'll have one year left in 2019, then we'll be forced to let him go for less just like Courtois.

Hardly matters if Real still don't come calling for him in 2019 or even 2020, which would eventually "force" him into signing the new contract. Like you alluded to, Real are more likely to go after Neymar or Mbappe because they score more goals and provide more benefits from a commercial point of view. Plus, Perez recently said he wants to get young players who will become a superstar in the future and someone like Mbappe definitely falls into the category as opposed to Hazard who is already 27 years old.

The risk with him staying but not agreeing a new contract is that with a year left the likes of City and United will come sniffing around offering him the moon to join one of them on a free.

Its true. I forgot that madrid have been buying younger players recently. Madrid may not be willing to shell out big cash for Hazard by next year when he'll be 28. Hazard made a mistake declaring his love for only Madrid in my opinion. He could have easily gotten a transfer to Barcelona, his style of play is perfect for a team like them (and Sarrismo )
