Eden Hazard to Real Madrid: Chelsea 'interested in controversial swap deal'

CHELSEA are reportedly interested in making a straight swap deal with Real Madrid - with Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio.

Don balon is reporting that story that means its BS

Asensio would be a great immediate replacement for Eden if he wishes to leave. Eden's latest comments might also make things a bit difficult in the locker room (making those comments is yet another indication he does want to leave IMO).

No he's not at Eden's level yet, but is not that far off and has the potential to get there (with a bit more finishing on top).

From Asensio's POV, it might only make sense if he's indeed given the key-player role Eden now enjoys (similar wages). That might just make it appealing enough to him, since it is questionable he'd be able to get there anytime soon at Real. So, career wise it might make sense for him.

Swap deals are notoriously difficult to pull off.

Anyone who thinks he is remotely in the same league as Eden is on crack.
