La Liga expert reveals why Real care more about signing Man Utd star over Chelsea ace

EDEN HAZARD isn’t an ‘absolute priority’ signing for Real Madrid unlike David de Gea.

 

David de Gea is on Real Madrid's radar

 

Hazard could be at the centre of a biding war in the summer, with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real all expected to vie for his services.

The Belgian’s future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain and other reports suggest Barcelona could enter the race for the playmaker.

Meanwhile, Real haven’t given hope on signing De Gea, whom they missed out on last summer.

 

De Gea claimed after United’s 1-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday, he is happy at Old Trafford and La Liga expert Guillem Balague reckons Real will focus all their efforts on securing a deal for the 25-year-old.

“In any case, Real Madrid are optimistic the transfer ban will be suspended - in which case, they will try to sign David de Gea in the summer - and also Robert Lewandowski and maybe Eden Hazard,” Balague told Sky Sports.

“As it stands, the Hazard talk is more coming from the player's end.

 

“Real Madrid are open to the idea and Zinedine Zidane likes him, but it really depends on how much money they have available and if other players are sold or not.

“Hazard would not be an absolute priority in the same way that De Gea and Lewandowski would be.”
