Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants to sign former Chelsea star Eden Hazard from Real Madrid, according to El National.
What’s the story?
El National are reporting today that Liverpool want to bring Hazard back to the Premier League.
The Belgium international attacking midfielder has struggled at Madrid, who are ready to cash in on him.
Liverpool manager Klopp believes that the 30-year-old, who can also play as a winger, can get back to his best under him.
The German is reportedly considering playing Hazard, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota in the same team.
A dream attacking lineup.
IF it happened.
Could Eden Hazard to Liverpool happen?
We all know just how good Hazard is.
The Belgian was simply stunning at Chelsea, scoring 85 goals in 245 Premier League appearances for the Blues.
In our view, Hazard would be a brilliant signing for Liverpool…
At the right price.
Hazard has been badly hit by injuries at Madrid, and his impact at the Spanish club has been pretty much negligible.
The former Chelsea star has made four La Liga starts so far this campaign, made seven starts in the league last season, and 14 in 2019-20.
Given that Hazard is now 30, we have to consider his age and whether his injury problems are now going to get worse.
Remember, Madrid paid an initial £89 million (BBC Sport) for Hazard when they signed him from Chelsea in 2019.
So, it is unlikely that Los Blancos will sell Hazard for a huge loss.
Moreover, the attacker himself may not be willing to join another Premier League club, having played for Chelsea.
