Chelsea superstar, Eden Hazard, has been linked and has recently agreed to join Real Madrid in the next coming days. According to several sources, Chelsea and Real Madrid have agreed to a 88.5 million Euro (around 130 million with additional add ons) deal for the Belgian player.
Knowing what I know about soccer, I do not understand why a player of his caliber would leave a league like the Premier League. In my opinion, the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Is he leaving for money? Is he leaving because he wants to play in Spain? Is he leaving because he wants to play for Zinedine Zidane? Is it because he wants a change of scenery? I may never know why.
During his time with Chelsea, Hazard has scored more than 100 goals and has added over 80 assists. To say that Chelsea will miss Hazard would be an understatement. Chelsea now have to look to players like Pulisic, Hudson-Odoi, Pedro and Willian to fill his place.
Hazard, with a similar play style to Lionel Messi, will thrive in La Liga. Real Madrid with players like Courtois, Marcelo, Kroos, Casemiro and now Hazard is a team ready to make a run for the La Liga title next year and possibly go for a Champions League Win.
The question is now… Will Hazard be as successful in Spain as he was in England? I think so.
