'Hazard may be ready for something different' - Belgium boss Martinez fuels Real Madrid rumours

Eden Hazard continues to be linked with a move from Chelsea to Real Madrid, with Belgium manager Roberto Martinez conceding that now could be the time for him to “try something different”.

The 27-year-old forward has been a reported target for the Blancos across a number of transfer windows, with his playmaking ability considered to sit perfectly in the ‘Galactico’ mould.

It could be that 2018 is the year in which a formal approach is made, with Hazard having hinted that he is ready to take on a new challenge after six years at Stamford Bridge.
