Report: Hazard not a priority for Real, Barca

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard is reportedly not a priority signing for either Real Madrid or Barcelona, despite the two clubs both being interested in the attacker.

The Belgian international was voted the Premier League's best player last season, contributing 14 goals in England's top flight as the Blues won the title.

The 24-year-old has not scored a single goal in 10 league games this term, however, and has been benched by head coach Jose Mourinho in recent weeks.

Talk of a move to La Liga has grown in recent weeks and while Real Madrid and Barcelona are both admirers of the attacker, neither see Hazard as a priority signing, according to the Daily Mail.

Hazard, who turned down Manchester United to move to Stamford Bridge in 2012, missed Chelsea's fifth penalty in Tuesday's League Cup fourth-round exit to Stoke City.
