Eden Hazard to Real Madrid: Zinedine Zidane makes Gareth Bale comment relating to Chelsea
REAL MADRID boss Zinedine Zidane has hinted that he will try and sign Chelsea’s Eden Hazard by admitting the Belgian and Gareth Bale can play well together.
Reports in Spain in recent weeks suggest that Hazard has agreed a deal to move to the Spanish capital in the summer but as of yet, nothing has been confirmed.
And when asked whether Hazard could play well with Bale, who has his own transfer dilemma to sort out, Zidane gave a positive response.
“All the good players can play together,” he said.
“People before said I could not play with Djorkaeff. Do you remember? What craziness.

“The idea is to have more strength in attack next year. We will see what happens though.”
On Bale’s future, Zidane remained coy, before noting that the situation is up to Bale.
The French player-turned-manager also had time to talk about his plans for the Real squad heading into next season.
“Bale is happy, he has had minutes with me. In the end we will see what happens, but I am not to say what Gareth should do,” Zidane added.

“We are working on it. But we still have four games left. Then we will see.”
Hazard’s Chelsea have a big game on Sunday against Manchester United - a clash they have to try and win to keep up their top four hopes.
