The transfer of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid could be affected by a loophole in the transfer ban from Chelsea

Eden Hazard should be more likely to join Real Madrid this summer if Chelsea is able to guarantee a permanent contract to Mateo Kovacic before the expiry of his loan.

Real Madrid has been strongly linked to a move for Hazard in recent years and, given that the Belgian striker has more than a year for his current contract at Stamford Bridge, rumors are now stronger than ever.

Even if nothing has been decided, the Belgian football journalist Kristof Terror claimed that a loophole that would allow Chelsea sign Kovacic before their imminent transfer ban could prove crucial in the Danger saga.

"It's difficult. On the commercial side, you would say: "You have to do it, you have to let it go" because otherwise you lose 100 million euros or more. But they can not recruit new players, "he told Sky Sports' Transfer Talk podcast. The daily star.

"They can hire one or two players who could also play a key role in the negotiations.

"Kovacic, he is still registered in Chelsea until June 30 and if they reach an agreement with real Madrid on Kovacic before the 30th, he is registered and they can sign him on a permanent basis although they have no choice, but it is a small flaw in the law. "

Terror also expressed his opinion on Hazard's personal situation and suggested that the 28-year-old is keen to move to Real Madrid as soon as possible.

"It's not clear – as it always is with Chelsea – what will happen," he said.

"But I think the player, he already wanted to go there last summer after the World Cup in St. Petersburg and offered them an extra season. He has Real Madrid fans around his head all year round and he is still in shape. "
