Juventus to swoop for former Chelsea favourite?

Juventus are exploring a loan deal for Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard, according to El Nacional.

The Belgian joined Los Blancos from Chelsea for £88m in 2019, but he has since made just over 50 appearances amid injuries.

Los Blancos are now prepared to part ways with the attacker as he is not a guaranteed starter under manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Hazard's agency have offered his services to multiple European clubs, and Juventus seem to be interested in a mid-season deal.

The Bianconeri prefer to sign him on a temporary basis with an option to buy, it it unclear whether Los Blancos will accept the offer.

The club are keen to get Hazard off their wage bill at the earliest as they aim to sign both Kylian Mbappe and Erling Braut Haaland.

Mbappe will be available on a free transfer next summer. Haaland will cost around £65m due to a release clause on his Dortmund deal.

The Spanish giants are willing to offload Hazard for around £41m.
