Eden Hazard could leave Chelsea despite transfer ban

Mar 20, 2019

Chelsea will reportedly sell Eden Hazard this summer, regardless of whether they are successful in their appeal to overturn a two-window transfer ban.

The Belgian has just over a year left on his current contract, but the ban has put his future at Stamford Bridge in doubt.

Reports suggest The Blues will want to cash in on Hazard, rather than risk losing the forward on a free transfer next year.

Real Madrid have been heavily linked with Hazard for a number of months, with Chelsea said to have valued him at 98 million pounds.
