Real Madrid 'confident of Paul Pogba, Eden Hazard signings'

Madrid 'confident of Pogba, Hazard signings'

Real Madrid are reportedly confident that they can complete a double swoop for Chelsea forward Eden Hazard and Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Los Blancos are third in La Liga, crashed out of the Copa del Rey at the semi-final stage and will miss out Champions League glory for the first time in four years.

A disastrous campaign for the La Liga giants saw them turn back to former boss Zinedine Zidane last month, and the Frenchman is expected to be heavily backed to overhaul his squad in the summer.

Premier League duo Hazard and Pogba are high on Zidane's list of targets and, according to Sky Sports News, Madrid believe that they can persuade Chelsea and United to sell.

Madrid's mission to sign Pogba will supposedly be helped if the Red Devils miss out on Champions League football, while Chelsea already seem to have accepted that Hazard will push through a "dream" move to the Bernabeu.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen and Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic are also believed to be on Zidane's radar.
