Madrid to offer Chelsea blockbuster swap deal

Even though the transfer window is not yet open, rumours continue to circulate about the future movements which clubs are planning in order to secure their most sought-after players in the transfer market.

In this case, the protagonists are Real Madrid and Chelsea, or more specifically, Bale and Hazard. The two players have both been linked with moves away from their respective clubs for differing reasons, but could they be switching allegiances at some point in the near future?

Spanish publication 'Don Balon' report that Madrid, under the stewardship of Florentino Perez, have offered the Premier League champions a sensational swap deal involving the two stars, in a bid to get rid of their injury-prone Welshman.

Bale is certainly interested in returning to the Premier League, where he first rose to stardom at Tottenham Hotspur, and Perez is hoping to take advantage of that situation to secure the services of Hazard.

The name of the Belgian winger has constantly been on the agenda at Real Madrid. The 26-year-old is a huge fan of Zinedine Zidane and he hasn't hidden his desire to one day play for Los Blancos. 

Could Eden Hazard be the man to oversee the end of the famed 'BBC' attacking trio?
