REAL MADRID are to offer Eden Hazard to Paris-Saint Germain in a sensational swap deal for Kylian Mbappe, according to reports.
Diario Gol report that Los Blancos may put ex-Chelsea star Hazard on the table in order to land a breakthrough in negotiations for Mbappe.

Eden Hazard could be used by Real Madrid to engineer a deal for Frenchman Kylian Mbappe
It is thought that Mbappe is keen to stay on good terms with PSG and is prepared to play at the Parc des Princes for another season.
Mbappe will help lead the effort to finally land the French club’s first Champions League title.
But in return for his efforts it is claimed Mbappe wants to be able to leave the French capital without the club standing in the way as they have done previously.
He is unlikely to come cheap and Madrid are reportedly keen to include Belgian Hazard – who they forked out an initial £88million for last summer – as part of a future transfer.
Ex-Monaco forward Mbappe is believed to only be interested in becoming a Galactico after growing up with Real Madrid posters on his bedroom wall.
The report suggests Madrid chiefs are not fully satisfied with Hazard’s injury-hit start to life in La Liga.
The 29-year-old arrived to pre-season in Spain 11 pounds overweight after clearly enjoying Chelsea’s Europa League celebrations.
Despite impressing Real boss Zinedine Zidane with his lockdown physique, it is claimed the Madrid hierarchy have no issue with using Hazard to lower Mbappe’s price in summer 2021.
