Football transfer gossip does not stop for Christmas Day and so it has proved just a few days before the transfer window opens again.
RMC Sport (via Mundo Deportivo) are pushing a new and intriguing claim regarding how Thorgan Hazard, the younger brother of Eden, could be crucial to Real Madrid signing the Chelsea star.
The younger Hazard brother is seen as a potential first domino effect on three transfers that would see Eden Hazard leave Stamford Bridge for The Bernabeu.
Thorgan to Dortmund, Pulisic to Chelsea & Eden to Real Madrid
The convoluted transfer rumour goes like this:
Thorgan Hazard is enjoying a fine season for Borussia Monchengladbach and has attracted the interest of Borussia Dortmund.
Were Thorgan to leave Gladbach for Dortmund, Chelsea’s chances of signing American star Christian Pulisic would be much more likely.
If Pulisic moves to west London, then Eden Hazard will be free to sign for Real Madrid…
Whilst it does seem complicated, certainly the first two transfers (of Thorgan Hazard and Christian Pulisic) seem likely and possible.
Will Eden Hazard leave Chelsea for Real Madrid?
Chelsea lost Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid this past summer and rumours regarding Eden Hazard joining Los Blancos have been rife for some time.
Hazard is out of contract at Chelsea come the end of the the 2019/2020 season.
Whilst Chelsea seem keen to sign a new deal with their talisman, it is far from clear whether Eden Hazard is eager to stay or would prefer a new challenge.
Hazard has spoken publicly previously about playing under the tutelage of Zinedine Zidane, his boyhood hero, who of course is no longer the coach of Real Madrid.

Chelsea cash on HAZARD now,it is obvious that the guy doesn’t want to play for Chelsea again.this guy wants to win trophies and Chelsea can not guarantee him that and he wants to also win world footballer of the year,this Chelsea management can not guarantee him that also.so €200k is a good business and we can rebuild Chelsea with that amount,Chelsea act wise before HAZARD leave for free.Hazard alone cannot win Chelsea trophy

If chelsea have to get any profit from Hazard's departure then it should be like this- Hazard to Madrid, Isco to Chelsea +some cash, Use that cash to buy Icardi or any other world class striker......chelsea already have Hudson odoi....he is better than both Thorgan and Pulisic...they should give him some experience....I bet he will be better than hazard in future

real Madrid need hazard in jaunary, if he comes in Jan, our season will change dramatically, also asensio work rate will increase because of the competition, isco must leave for hazard, real need pure striker like icardi to finish the match, benzema is not good enough to score more, if neymar comes benzema will be useful, I don't like neymar in real Madrid, Hala madrid

Sorry but 1) I'd rather retain Eden Hazard 2) If we lose Eden, Thorgan is better than Pulisic as a replacement for his brother and we got a buyback 3) Pulisic is overrated, most players look good in Dortmund system...
