Real Madrid to use Gareth Bale as Eden Hazard makeweight?

Real Madrid will reportedly offer Gareth Bale a Premier League return with Chelsea in order to push through a transfer for Eden Hazard.

Belgium international Hazard, valued at close to £100m after a starring role in his side's latest Premier League title success, is widely considered to be Los Blancos' top summer target.

According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, Madrid are so desperate to land their man that they are even prepared to offload Bale, who has been touted with a move to Manchester United over the past two years.

The ex-Tottenham Hotspur ace has managed just nine goals during an injury-hit campaign at the Bernabeu, and it is claimed that he would be willing to make the switch to Stamford Bridge where similar wages can be offered.

Hazard recently hinted that he does not see any reason to leave West London, as he aims to push on and become the world's best player in the next 12 months.
