Chelsea have recently signed an array of attacking talent, with Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech arriving at Stamford Bridge within the last two years.
Lukaku has been Tuchel's only signing since replacing Frank Lampard earlier this year, though, so the German boss may want his own attack.
And if the European champions come calling, Hazard could be tempted with a Premier League return down the line.
However, in September, he shut down suggestions that he was currently unsettled at Real.

"I haven't played or scored much but that doesn't affect the affection I have for the club," Hazard explained.
"I'm happy in Madrid, I like my life there. The situation got complicated because of COVID, the injuries and all, but a player is happy when he is playing minutes, it's easier to be happy when you're scoring."
"You can say what you want, but I am happy there. I know I can do good things there, and that's it.
"When I score goals, when I smile again everyone will say I'm happy, but I'm already happy. It's just that I can't play and I can't score, and that's what I'm missing."
