While Mbappé is expected at Real Madrid this summer, Florentino Pérez intends to reduce his payroll by getting rid of a flop.
A big start in the pipes at Real Madrid this summer
Real Madrid came down from their cloud on Sunday. The Merengues were corrected at Santiago Bernabeu by FC Barcelona (4-0). The White House was notably deprived of Karim Benzema, calf injury. Following this disappointment, Florentino Pérez is planning a major cleaning for the next summer transfer window. The president of Real intends in particular to separate from a big flop this summer. Recruited against 115 million euros in 2019, Eden Hazard fails to meet the La Liga leader’s expectations. Reason why the boss of Los Bancos plans to part with it, two years from the expiry of the Belgian’s contract in Madrid. The 31-year-old winger has never justified the amount of his transfer from Chelsea.
A big sell-off in sight for Eden Hazard
According to information from Goal, Florentino Pérez is not expecting a big check if Eden Hazard is sold. The Madrid leader had already refourgué James Rodriguez under the same conditions at Everton in 2020. This departure would also allow Real Madrid to get rid of one of the biggest salaries in their squad. His weekly salary in the Spanish capital is estimated at 480,000 euros. But as the source points out, the difficulty with the Belgium international would be that he doesn’t have any serious suitors in the transfer market. Contrary to rumors of recent days, neither Chelsea, nor Newcastle United or Arsenal would be interested in the Madrid number 7. Who has only played 9 games as a starter this season for 2 goals and an assist. Not enough to arouse the interest of clubs on the transfer market.
