Manchester City have added their name to Eden Hazard‘s burgeoning list of heavyweight suitors as transfer speculation linking the Belgian playmaker with an exit persists.
The attacking midfielder is being eyed by a whole host of European giants, with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich all understood to be keen on the attacking midfielder.
Of these, perhaps Real are the keenest admirers; new coach Zinedine Zidane is a big admirer of the player—as he admitted publicly in Spring 2015 [Fifa.com]—and has been handed a £250 million war chest by Florentino Perez in order to restore the Merengues’ former lustre [The Sun].
However, according to The Sun, Manchester City are now keen on the world-class attacker, who they see as the ideal Galactico signing to tempt Pep Guardiola to consider a summer move to the Etihad Stadium.
Hazard has been off the boil so far this season, struggling to assert himself in Chelsea’s miserable campaign, although his father Thierry has insisted that his son is completely focused on helping the Stamford Bridge side and is not focusing on a future elsewhere.
