Hazard approaches Barcelona, but not a priority
Posted Friday, August 04, 2017 by tribalfootball.com
Chelsea ace Eden Hazard has cut off all communication with Real Madrid.
The Belgium international, currently recovering from an ankle fracture, has long been a major target for Real Madrid powerbrokers Florentino Perez and Zinedine Zidane.
However, Don Balon says their courting of Monaco whizkid Kylian Mbappe has upset Hazard, who doesn't understand why Real are focusing everything on the largely unproven teen.
Instead, Hazard, via intermediaries, has made contact with Barcelona to make clear his willingness to move to the Nou Camp as a replacement for Neymar.
However, the response has been lukewarm, with Barca informing reps that while Hazard is of interest, he isn't a priority for the Catalans this summer.
