Two years went to waste. A career collapse. Only five goals in the Real shirt, performances unworthy of a footballer paid almost 120 million USD, resentment of the fans of the Madrid giant when he laughed with his ex-teammates at Stamford Bridge immediately after the elimination from the Champions League – all of that brought the Belgian into an unenviable situation.People who take care of Eden Hazard’s career have suggested to the Stamford Bridge club to hire the once great winger again. For now, it all comes as an idea that should be considered but as things stand at the moment, it look like a scenario that will hardly see the light of day.Academy gem and one of Arsenal’s best players Emile Smith Rowe signs a new long-term contractFirst and foremost: manager Thomas Tuchel has options-galore when it comes to attack. Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech. All of them are much younger than Hazard, which puts them in a pole position when it comes to the future at Stamford Bridge. Hazard turned 30 in January and Roman Abramovich and Marina Granovskaia, as Chelsea’s leading duo, stick to the unwritten rule that footballers who entered their fourth decade of life sign a one-year contract – which greatly complicates the potential negotiations.Idea to return Eden Hazard to London is understandable from the point of view of his managing team – they would fill their pockets with another lucrative transfer. It is possible that the footballer would look like himself again, however, even if Carlo Ancelotti agrees with Hazard’s departure from Madrid, Florentino Perez would have the last word.Transfer kings: Leipzig spends the most, Leipzig earns the mostThe president of Real is a tough negotiator and he would certainly not let the Belgian go so easily, but aware that he did not live up to expectations, he would have to lower his demands. It is mentioned that 70.5 million USD would be the amount that Perez would agree to, although it seems difficult, almost impossible, for Chelsea to pay that much in the conditions of the economic crisis.Last summer, Chelsea spent almost 300 million USD on new signings, resulting in winning the Champions League, but an additional 70.5 million is already questionable. Especially since Tuchel doesn’t really need Hazard. At least not in his current form.Additionally, Eden earns more at Real than he did Chelsea which makes the mission of his return more than impossible, because he would have to lower his financial demands. Although, if you take his performances into consideration… Well, the low quality of them – he should.Hazard reportedly said that the return to Chelsea in recent future is out of question and that he wants to fight for his place at Santiago Bernabeu. Time will tell.
