Jose Mourinho has added fuel to the Eden Hazard to Real Madrid fire as he claims Eden Hazard has the personality and talent to play for Real Madrid before the end of his career. The 28-year-old has been hotly linked with a move to the Bernabeu ever since Cristiano Ronaldo departed for Juventus , but as of yet, nothing concrete has been agreed.
Hazard’s Chelsea contract runs until 2020 and will Chelsea’s transfer ban running until then they face a tough decision. Sell him this summer for a hefty fee but no obvious replacement, or risk losing him on a free in 2020. Jose Mourinho, who has managed Madrid, believes the Belgian would be a perfect fit at the Bernabeu.
He told DAZN: "Does he have the talent to play for Real Madrid? He does."
"Does he have the personality to put on a 'super-heavy' shirt and play in front of the fans at the Bernabeu? Yes, he has the personality.
"Regarding Eden's ambitions... be it playing for Chelsea his whole life or playing for a giant like Real Madrid, I can't say, because I haven't spoken to him for a long time."
Jose Mourinho also hinted that he would be ready to return to management this summer and he is favourite to take over as the Real Madrid boss, with Santiago Solari not the most popular man in the Spanish capital.
"In this short phase of my life, which I hope is only until June, I'm more concerned about what others would do than what I would do," Mourinho commented.
Perhaps we could see Eden Hazard and Jose Mourinho reunited in sunny Spain this summer.
