James Rodriguez for Eden Hazard

Real Madrid and Chelsea could agree to a sensational player-swap deal which will see James Rodriguez go one way, and Eden Hazard go the other.

Both players have been heavily linked with transfers away from their respective clubs, with both struggling for form throughout the season, and according to reports, the two clubs could do a straight swap.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has been far from impressed with James since taking over at the Bernabeu, whilst Hazard has netted just twice this season, both in the FA Cup.

Despite the two clubs having different valuations on the players, they could both settle for a straight player-swap deal.

Straight Swap

It’s reported that Chelsea value Hazard at ÂŁ100million, while James is valued at around ÂŁ70m. Despite the ÂŁ30m difference, both clubs are keen to go ahead with the straight swap.

Madrid are desperate to push through the deal as they’ve been keen admirers of Hazard for sometime now, however, with a new manager coming in at Stamford Bridge, they may have to wait until they can get the deal finalised.
