Eden Hazard has hinted at summer move from Chelsea to Real Madrid... but will the £90m-rated Belgian really be going to the Bernabeu?
With Real Madrid target Eden Hazard admitting: 'We all have our dreams,' is Chelsea's £90m-rated Belgian really set to leave London for Spain?
Sportsmail looks at how winning the Champions League has not dampened Madrid's appetite for big signings, but how the emergence of Asensio and the form of Isco has raised some doubts over who the next Galatico should be.
Real Madrid winning their first European Cup and La Liga double since 1958, surely that's the recipe for a quiet summer?
Well that's what we thought in 2014 when they won the much longed-for 10th European Cup.
And they spent over £100m on James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos and Keylor Navas, selling Angel Di Maria and Xabi Alonso in the process. So there will be movement and that could mean Eden Hazard.
Hazard was established as the No 1 target mid-season?
Hazard was considered last summer too. And there are even unconfirmed suggestions he visited the club's training facilities at one point. Zinedine Zidane is a long-time admirer.
So what, if anything, has changed?
The emergence of Kylian Mbappe and the form of both Isco and Marco Asensio might have some bearing on whether Real Madrid see it through to the end.
What have Asensio and Isco got to do with Hazard?
Isco is poised to sign a new contract worth around 6m euros a season net. That represents around £150,000 a week and puts him in the second tier of the club's big earners.
It would run until 2022 when he will be 30. He started the Cardiff final and wants more of the same.
Asensio came on and scored on Saturday and is the next big thing in Spanish football. He's a talent that cannot be held back. He needs to play.
