Chelsea want Casemiro to be included in a deal for Eden Hazard
Day by day, it is becoming extremely clear that Eden Hazard has set his sights on a move to Real Madrid next season. Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovic has reportedly conceded defeat in his ambition to not sell the Belgian. But the owner will only do business with Real Madrid if the Spanish giants make a player plus cash offer.
According to Don Balon, Chelsea want Casemiro + £100 million to release Eden Hazard. The Blues were earlier linked with Marco Asensio but are now fixated on landing the robust midfielder. The Brazilian is an integral part of this Real Madrid side and Chelsea's demand has definitely put Perez in a spot of bother.

The fullback has been capped by Spain and was scouted last week by United in a Europa League clash against Red Bull Salzburg. He is reportedly valued at around £18 million by Sociedad.
