Rivaldo Sends Strong Message To Eden Hazard

Former Brazil international, Rivaldo has urged Chelsea’s star player, Eden Hazard to jump on the ship to the La Liga giants, Real Madrid, in this summer transfer window.

Hazard, who has been heavily linked with a mega move away from Stamford bridge over the past two years, is yet to sign a new contract at Chelsea.

The 28-year-old, who has been in top form this season and Rivaldo believes the Belgium international will be a perfect signing for the Los Blancos.

The ex-midfield maestro opined that if Hazard eventually leaves Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, he will become successful at the Santiago Bernabeu. 

Ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Cardiff City on Sunday, Rivaldo was quoted by Metro UK as saying: “Hazard could be more than just a great player at Madrid.”

“Eden Hazard would be a perfect signing for Real Madrid, not only for his talents as a player, but also as a leader.”

“He lead the Belgian team at the World Cup and does the same currently at Chelsea. He already has the experience and know-how of taking responsibility on his own and could be an important piece in this transition phase the club is in after Ronaldo’s departure.”

“He, as well as other new players that be signed before the new season starts, could put Real Madrid back to winning ways in Europe and Spain, battling for titles with Barcelona and other big clubs.”

Hazard’s current contract with Chelsea expires in June 2020.
