Newcastle United and Chelsea have reportedly been alerted to the possibility of signing Eden Hazard in January with the Belgian attacker struggling for game time at the Bernabeu.
Hazard, 30, has struggled to reach the heights that convinced Madrid to splash out an initial fee of £89million two years ago, with performance-based incentives taking that figure to £150m.
However, injuries have derailed the former Chelsea star's progress in Madrid, where he has scored just five goals across 52 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos.
