According to Diario Gol, everything is in place for the Belgian star to make the Santiago Bernabeu switch. While claims Los Blancos has made advancements in their pursuit of the 27-year-old aren't new, this recent report argues that the Spanish heavyweight is farther than everyone thinks.
Apparently, everything from his contract, where he will live, and his squad number has already been arranged by the Champions League holder. The article states that the Stamford Bridge star will inherit the number 11 shirt, with Gareth Bale tipped to be sold after failing to fill Cristiano's shoes.
Diario Gol even goes as far as claiming a date has been scheduled for his presentation, as Los Blancos yearn for a new Galactico. Hazard would be a welcomed edition, given his talents and the struggles of the likes of Bale, Asensio, and Isco to step up. However, one must read this story with a pinch of salt.
The former Lille sensation continues to flirt with the possibility of donning a Real Madrid shirt, admitting that he still dreams about one day playing for the 13-time European champion. However, he almost always stresses the fact that he is yet to make a decision on his future.
