Real Madrid flop, Eden Hazard, has reportedly emerged as a top transfer target for new Roma boss Jose Mourinho this summer.

The 30-year-old joined Los Blancos in a deal valued at around €115 million in 2019 but has failed to live up to the huge prize since then - with a series of injuries hampering his performances for them.

He has made just 45 appearances scoring five times and assisting eight other goals after two seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, Mourinho is now hoping to reunite with the Belgian forward having already worked together during the Portuguese's second stint at Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Real might be planning to raise funds from Hazard's sale as they are planning to make a move for either PSG star Kylian Mbappe or Borussia Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland this summer according to Sports Mole and Daily Mail.

Reports from Spain claim the former Tottenham boss is closely watching Hazard's situation and would consider making a move for the winger, says Spanish news outlet Deportes Cuatro.

The publication further revealed that Roma would prefer a loan deal instead of an outright buy due to their current financial predicament, but Los Blancos would prefer to receive a transfer fee.

Hazard has also been linked with a return to his former club Chelsea after Real finished without winning any trophy in the recently concluded season.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Real Madrid might be considering a move to offload ten of their players this summer if they should fail to retain their League title.

Los Blancos have not been impressive this season in all competitions which have put the manager of the side, Zinedine Zidane, under serious pressure.

There are even reports that the Frenchman may also be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season with one game to go.
