Real Madrid has showed interest in signing Chelsea star Hazard with the Belgium international expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
If Chelsea fails to win the Champions League means Hazard wants out and, given Real’s need for more attacking firepower, a stunning Bernabeu transfer could beckon.
And Spanish website Diario Gol say Real Madrid have been rocked after Chelsea conjured up a transfer plan.
The west London side are primed to lose manager Antonio Conte after two mixed years at the club.
But, despite that, Chelsea are working hard on transfers behind the scene.
And Diario Gol say the Blues have told Real they want Marco Asensio if they are to let Hazard go.
The Spain international has enjoyed a terrific year for the club and is in contention to start the Champions League final against Liverpool later this month.
The report suggests Chelsea have even found Asensio a house, such is his eagerness to sign him.
However, whether Real choose to let their forward prodigy go remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been urged to keep hold of Hazard by Premier League legend Alan Shearer.
“Whatever happens next with Antonio Conte, Chelsea need to sort out Eden Hazard’s future too – and try to convince him to stay at the club,” he told the BBC.
“The Belgium forward has got two years left on his contract but he knows that if he wants to leave, he can do.
“Real Madrid and Manchester City are supposedly interested, and understandably so. He showed again he is a game-changer with his winner in the FA Cup final on Saturday and he is good enough to go wherever he wants to.
“When Chelsea won the Premier League under Jose Mourinho in 2015, Hazard was voted the PFA Player of the Year and I felt he had the potential to go on and become the best player in the world.
“That can still happen. At 27, this is a big World Cup for him and if he wants to showcase his abilities to get a move then he has got the perfect stage, because there is no bigger or better place.
“He has not been as effective this season for Chelsea as he was last year – but none of the Blues players have been.”
Son of Sir Jack, Jonathan Hayward, said: “Dad would have been very humbled to be in the exalted company of Billy Wright and Stan Cullis.
“He will have the city of Wolverhampton to one side, and Molineux to the other, both of which were so important and so special to him. He is truly one of our own.”
