Barcelona staging Hazard coup against Real Madrid

Barcelona aims to hijack Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard deal, after the Camp Nou giants registered their interest in the Chelsea attacker of late, according to report.

Hazard has been a prime target for Real Madrid president Florentino Perez since two seasons ago but Barcelona has joined the race to sign the Belgian forward and as they are willing to meet Chelsea valuation for Hazard.

According to Spanish publication OK Diario, Chelsea is not willing to negotiate over the Belgian’s departure unless a fee of €200m (£178m) is put on the table, but Real Madrid want to pay a price lower than the valuation.

But with the recent development from Barcelona, the European Champions could step up the chase in a bid to fend off interest from their rivals.

OK Diario claims Barca’s hierarchy are well aware they will be unable to prise Hazard away from west London this summer and are now only pursuing him to make life difficult for their rivals.

Barcelona is aware of Real Madrid struggle to replace Cristiano Ronaldo and they are set to make things extremely difficult for the La Liga giant.

While Los Blancos continue their pursuit of Hazard, Barcelona is having dealings of their own with Chelsea as they look to convince them to sell Willian.

The latest development saw Chelsea reject a third bid in excess of £55m for the Brazilian.
