Zinedine Zidane 'yet to give Eden Hazard move the green light'

Zidane 'yet to give Hazard move the green light'

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is reportedly yet to give the green light for his club to move for Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard in this summer's transfer window.

Hazard will see his current deal with Chelsea expire in the summer of 2020, and the Belgium international has been strongly linked with a move to Madrid.

According to Marca, both Hazard and Los Blancos are keen for the deal to take place, but Zidane is yet to sign off on a swoop for the 28-year-old.

Indeed, the report claims that the newly-appointed head coach wants to first 'analyse his squad in detail' to determine which areas need strengthening in this summer's transfer window.

Hazard has found the back of the net on 16 occasions for Chelsea this season, while he has managed 105 goals in total for the English giants since a 2012 switch from Lille.

Zidane is thought to have as much as £430m to spend on new players this summer.
