      He has not scored a goal in the 12 appearances he has made so far this season, with the club reportedly willing to let him leave in the next window.
      Now, Lille president Olivier Letang about the possibility of a return to the club for the 30-year-old.
      When speaking to L’Equipe Letang said: “A return of Hazard to Lille? It is not impossible to see it here.
      “I go to Spain if necessary. It may seem impossible.
      “Obviously, Hazard is an incredible player with a lot of quality.
      “Right now, he is a Real Madrid player and is under contract with Real Madrid every day.”

      Hazard made his professional debut for Lille in 2007 and remained at the club until he signed for Chelsea in 2012.
      He scored 50 goals during his five-year spell at the French club and helped them win a league title and the Coupe de France in the 2010-11 season.
      Whilst a return to France is possible, the winger will have to lower his wage demands if Lille are to have any chance of taking him back.
      Hazard has already been linked to a number of clubs this season with offers from teams such as Belgian Minnows KVS Westerlo and Fenerbahce.
      A move back to England is also a possibility after he was linked to West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea.
      Belgium manager Roberto Martinez recently revealed that Hazard is ‘unhappy’ at Real Madrid due to his situation in a hint he is looking to leave the club. More

      Rodrygo is wanted by LiverpoolCredit: Getty
      Catalan newspaper, El Nacional, have reported that Liverpool are willing to pay £68m for the Brazilian.
      The Reds previously tried to sign Rodrygo from Santos when he was just SEVENTEEN.
      But in 2019, the hotshot went to the Spanish capital for £40m instead.
      And Rodrygo has become a key part of the Madrid team since joining.
      He won La Liga in his first season with Los Blancos, incredibly scoring a goal in his debut within a MINUTE.
      The then-teenager was hailed as a gift ‘fallen from the sky’ by the Spanish media after scoring a Champions League hat-trick against Galatasaray.

      West Ham and Everton ‘leading Eden Hazard transfer chase with Real Madrid ready to make £130m loss on ex-Chelsea star’

      by

      EDEN HAZARD is reportedly looking for a move back to the Premier League with West Ham and Everton leading the race to secure his signature.The 30-year-old has been plagued with injury and fitness issues since arriving at Real Madrid from Chelsea in the summer of 2019.
      Hazard has failed to make any sort of impact in MadridCredit: Getty
      He has played 54 times across two and a half seasons, scoring just five goals for the Spanish giants.
      As a result, Madrid, who signed him for an initial £88million rising to a potential £150m, are happy for him to leave for as little as £25.5m or £21m if a club can convince him to join on loan in January with a permanent option at the end of the campaign.
      According to the Sunday Mirror, this is because Hazard earns a huge £416,000 per week.
      This works out to an annual salary of £21.6m, a sum Madrid are desperate to get off their books.
      However, Hazard is not keen to leave mid-season and would prefer to wait until the summer.
      Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is thought to have given his blessing for Hazard – who has not scored in 11 appearances this season – to leave the Bernabeu.

      Speaking about Hazard’s future back in October, Ancelotti said: “Never in my career as a coach have I forced a player to stay when they want to leave.
      “Hazard is ready, but his problem right now is that he has a coach who prefers other players, which can happen in a squad like this one.”
      West Ham and Everton are thought to be the two Premier League clubs showing the most interest in bringing the Belgian back to England.
      And if they can return him to full fitness then it could prove a masterstroke given his superb record in the Prem.
      Hazard scored 111 goals in 352 appearances for Chelsea during a seven-year spell with the club.

      Along with the Hammers and Toffees, Newcastle have also been linked with a move for the Madrid reject.
      Outside of England, reports have suggested Hazard has ‘promised’ to sign for Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
      He has also been linked with a move back to Belgium to play for minnows KVC Westerlo. More

      Five defenders Chelsea could sign to replace Rudiger including Kounde and Szalai as Real Madrid close in on centre-back

      by

      CHELSEA are still sweating over the future of Antonio Rudiger. The German, 28, is yet to sign a new deal and has attracted attention from Europe’s elite, most notably Real Madrid.

      Cesar Azpilicueta, 32, Thiago Silva, 37, and Andreas Christensen, 25, are also defenders Chelsea face losing for nothing unless contract extensions are agreed.
      The Blues are said to be prepared to offer all four new deals, but it will not stop them from scouting out alternatives.
      Here, SunSport runs down five centre-back options for Chelsea.
      Jules Kounde
      Frenchman Kounde, 23, looked all set for a move from Sevilla to Stamford Bridge in the summer and is believed to have agreed personal terms.
      But, after Chelsea sold Kurt Zouma, 27, to accommodate the move, Sevilla raised the price tag to £60million at the last minute, opposed to the original £43m.
      That is said to have caused Chelsea to pull out of the deal, which in turn paved the way for 22-year-old Trevoh Chalobah’s emergence in the squad.

      Attila Szalai
      Fenerbahce’s Szalai, 23, has emerged as a cut-price alternative option at the back for the Blues.
      And speculation from Turkey has even claimed Chelsea have agreed a deal of £20m to sign the defender in the winter window.
      Szalai has won 21 caps since making his senior international debut for Hungary in 2019.

      Marquinhos
      Chelsea were last summer linked to the Brazilian, 27, who is the current PSG captain.
      And despite reportedly being prepared to pay up to £86m for Marquinhos, neither the player or PSG appeared interested in the deal.
      But that is not to say Chelsea would not try their luck again, especially as Marquinhos could be deemed the perfect successor to former team-mate Silva.

      Niklas Sule
      Earlier in the year, German Sule, 26, was rumoured to be a target Chelsea were considering signing in the summer.
      Since then, he is yet to sign a new Bayern Munich deal, which is set to expire at the end of this season.
      It means Chelsea could be cleared to negotiate a free transfer with Sule as soon as next month, with Newcastle also linked with the defender.

      Pau Torres
      Villarreal’s Torres, 24, was close to a move to London in the summer, but with Chelsea’s rivals Tottenham.
      And already the defender could be a favourite amongst Blues fans after turning down Spurs.
      He is said to have been a name shortlisted on Chelsea’s defensive targets in the past and is believed to have a £56m release clause in his contract.

      Real Madrid ‘back away’ from Paul Pogba transfer as LaLiga giants go cold on Man Utd star even though he’d be FREE

      REAL MADRID have halted their pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, according to reports.The 28-year-old Frenchman is set to leave Old Trafford for free in the summer when his contract expires.

      And Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for the World Cup winner as they prepare to bolster their squad under Carlo Ancelotti.
      But, according to AS, the Spanish giants are no longer interested in bringing Pogba to the club despite him being available for free.
      Pogba will be able to reach a pre-contract agreement as early as January because his Man Utd deal is up at the end of the season.
      Along with Real, he has also been linked with a move to Juventus where he played 174 times between 2012 and 2016.
      And Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola recently hinted he could be set for a transfer in the upcoming mid-season window.
      Raiola told Rai: “December is the month of dreams… and I can’t stop dreams, but is better to not speak about Paul.

      “If some former Man United players don’t speak about me and Paul, they won’t work anymore.”
      Pogba started the season in superb form, providing seven assists in United’s opening four Premier League games.
      But since then he has once again come under fire for his performances in a red shirt.
      In the wake of the Red Devils’ humiliating 5-0 defeat to Liverpool last month, Man Utd legend Paul Scholes had some harsh words for Pogba.
      But former French teammate Bacary Sagna recently came out in defence of the midfielder. More

      Ex-Chelsea star Eden Hazard is ‘sad’ at Real Madrid amid Newcastle transfer links, claims Roberto Martinez

      by

      FORMER Chelsea forward Eden Hazard is ‘unhappy’ at Real Madrid, according to Belgium national team manager Roberto Martinez.The 30-year-old arrived at the Bernabeu in 2019 but has failed to make any sort of impact at the Spanish giants.
      Hazard has been a major flop since joining the Spanish giantsCredit: Getty
      Fitness issues and injuries have plagued the Belgian for two years as he has shown none of the form he lit up Stamford Bridge with for seven campaigns.
      In 54 games for Real Madrid Hazard has managed just five goals and has only started four LaLiga games so far this season.
      As a result, he has been linked with a move to Newcastle following the Magpies’ Saudi takeover.
      However, Martinez hopes Madrid will stick by their man while he goes through a difficult period of his career.
      Speaking on COPE’s show El Partidazo, he said: “Hazard is medically in his best moment since he arrived at Real Madrid.

      “He is sad in football terms, this is the first time that he is experiencing this situation.
      “He is a player who has always led winning projects and now he doesn’t have that role, but he is a footballer of exceptional talent and that is never lost, you have to have faith in him.”
      Hazard netted 85 goals in 245 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, League Cup and two Europa Leagues.
      And there have been reports he could be set for a return to England’s top flight as Newcastle are thought to be interested in him.

      Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he will not standard in Hazard’s way if he wishes to exit the club.
      The former Chelsea manager said: “Never in my career as a coach have I forced a player to stay when they want to leave.
      “In my own personal opinion I don’t have any doubts about that.” More

      Man Utd and Chelsea boost in £64m Erling Haaland transfer chase as Real Madrid ‘accept he is going to Premier League’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea have received a boost in their pursuit of Erling Haaland after it was reported Real Madrid have ‘accepted he is going to the Premier League’.The Spanish giants are desperate to sign the Norwegian, whose release clause enables him to leave Borussia Dortmund for £64million next summer.

      The Norwegian has established himself as one of the most prolific strikers in footballCredit: Getty
      But they are now braced for disappointment with club suits believing the Dortmund sensation will sign for an English side instead.
      That’s according to journalist Josep Pedrerol, who said: “Real Madrid assumes that Haaland will play in England next year and they have it ruled out.”
      Bullish Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had hoped to sign both Haaland and Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe in a stunning double deal.
      He said last month: “Which one do I choose to build a new project? I take both without a doubt.
      “At Real Madrid, there are always the best players in the world. Florentino will bring them both back.”
      But now it appears they will have to settle for Mbappe as the focal point to their future.

      The Spanish giants almost secured the World Cup winner in the summer but failed to reach an agreement with PSG before the window slammed shut.
      Haaland has been linked with a number of English sides including Man Utd, Chelsea and Manchester City.
      The 21-year-old has netted 13 goals in just 10 appearances for Dortmund so far this season.
      That is despite the Norwegian suffering a couple of niggling injuries, the latest of which his dad Alf-Inge has revealed could keep him out until Christmas.
      The Dortmund striker has been out of action since his side’s 4-0 battering by Ajax in the Champions League last month.

      And Alf-Inge told Norwegian channel TV 2: “He’s doing relatively well considering the situation, but he’ll be out for a little while.
      “It would be a bonus if he gets some games before Christmas, but it’s rather unlikely.”
      The news means Haaland is almost certain to miss Dortmund’s crucial clash with Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich on December 4. More

      Yet despite coming into favour at the Bernabeu, Chelsea are trying to tempt him to Stamford Bridge with an offer that would see his wages increase significantly.
      Militao signed a six-year deal with Real Madrid in 2019 and so remains under contract until 2025.
      But, according to El Nacional, interest from the Blues is pressuring Los Blancos president Florentino Perez into renegotiating an improved deal for Militao.

      After making his international debut in 2018, he has now appeared 18 times for his country.
