Hazard won’t leave Real Madrid this summer
Eden Hazard will reject a summer transfer to prove himself at Real Madrid, according to his brother, Kylian.
Speaking to RTFB, Kylian Hazard said: “He [Eden] is not going to let Real go until he’s proven he’s the strongest there. He’s proven himself at every club he’s been to, and for me, he doesn’t want to leave.
“I don’t think he’s going to leave. If the president [Florentino Perez] wants him to leave, if he knows he has no chance to play, then I don’t think that he will stay. But I can assure you of one thing: he will do everything to prove that he is the best player at Real.”
Barcelona & Coutinho’s agents to meet
Barcelona will meet Philippe Coutinho’s agents in the coming week to discuss the player’s future.
The 29-year-old playmaker has enjoyed a welcome run of decent form on loan at Aston Villa. Manager Steven Gerrard wants a permanent deal. However, Villa are unwilling to meet Barcelona’s €40 million asking price. The Premier League side instead want to negotiate a lower fee.
This may cause Barcelona to instruct Coutinho’s agents to negotiate with other teams. [Diario Sport]
