The latest Chelsea transfer rumors circulating in the Twitterverse, blogosphere, cyberspace and media world all center around one story that originated with Spanish outletย Don Balon. ย Of course, not all of the players implicated will move, and perhaps none of them actually will. Most likely they won’t, but it relates to Real Madrid, therefore it’s very interesting to read about and speculate on nonetheless.
When you’re talking about an English giant club possibly being raided by the world’s largest club in many respects, it makes for a great read. Here’s what Los Blancos might be interested in doing this summer transfer window.
The reigning European champs are supposedly interested inย Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante, Thibaut Courtois and Marcos Alonso. Regarding Hazard and Courtois, those narratives have been out there for a very long time. Courtois addressed this narrative publicly a couple months ago. There’s been talk that Stamford Bridge is set to give both he, and Hazard huge pay raises in order to ward off the La Liga juggernaut from the Spanish capital.
Chelsea and Real met in a preseason international friendly this past summer at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The International Champions Cup exhibition match set the Chelsea record for highest attendance, and ranks as the #2 most attended game in American soccer history.
Seems like it was also a prime scouting opportunity for Real Madrid to do some scouting.
