Real Madrid to include Gareth Bale in deal with Chelsea for Eden Hazard

Gareth Bale will be allowed to join Chelsea by Real Madrid as part of a swap deal for Eden Hazard.

The Blues winger is a key target for Real boss Zinedine Zidane.

Hazard has never hidden his admiration for the France legend, and the two could be united at the Bernabeu next summer.

The 26-year-old is keen to wait until the end of the season, despite Chelsea being prepared to hand him a new contract worth £300,000 a week.

Zidane subsequently feels it is the right time to launch a move for Hazard.

And according to Spanish outlet Don Balon, the Real manager plans to include Bale in the transfer.

Zidane knows Chelsea will not make it easy for Real to sign Hazard.

But an exchange with former Tottenham forward Bale, 28, would see the Chelsea star cost practically nothing.

Injury-plagued Bale has seen his stock drop in Spain’s capital, and Real are ready to offload him.

With regards to Hazard’s future, Don Balon add Zidane understands he is looking to leave Chelsea in 2018.

The Belgium international will be at the World Cup in Russia but may end up in Spain by the end of the summer.
