Real Madrid willing to sell Benzema for €80 million and bring ideal Ronaldo replacement in the process and more Real Madrid transfer news January 28, 2019
Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid latest transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the transfer window!
#3 Hazard to Madrid
Real Madrid’s story with Eden Hazard is getting quite boring now as it is almost the same thing recycled in a different way. This is like one of those sagas which will only die down once Hazard either signs an extension with Chelsea or joins Real Madrid.
And now, football finance expert Kieran Maguire has claimed that the clubs interested in him will have to pay around £120 million to sign. This figure will keep going down by half with each window, he claimed.
“Other clubs are looking to wind down the clock in terms of his contract. He’s got 18 months to go, you would probably have to pay £120m for him now,” he said.
“But if you leave that to next summer it will probably drop to £70m. And the leave that to 12 months, it could be £35m.”

Maguire then added that Hazard is most likely to stay beyond this window at least despite the fact that he and Maurizio Sarri aren’t entirely sharing a good time. Maguire believes that the Belgian loves London and Real Madrid are the only club interested in signing him.
And he finished by claiming that the Galacticos won’t pay such a huge sum for a player whose contract ends in about 18 months’ time.
“I think it’s very likely, although there’s been a bit of a spat between him and the manager,” Maguire added.
“He likes living in London but realistically it’s only Real Madrid in the market for him. But I can’t see them paying the price he commands at present.”
