Transfer gossip: Don Balon still linking Real with Hazard

Some of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Spanish media outlets continue to link Real Madrid with Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

Hazard, who has been in sensational form this season, was widely tipped to join Real during the summer transfer window.

Now Don Balon claim Real boss Julen Lopetegui wants the club to fight to sign Hazard rather than Neymar, who has been linked with a move to the Bernabéu from Paris St-Germain.

Don Balon claimed several times during the summer that a deal had been agreed for Hazard to move to Real, when in fact no offer had been made.

Chelsea still being linked with Ramsey

Chelsea have once again been linked with Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

There has been speculation over Ramsey’s future for some time as his contract at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire next summer.

It has repeatedly been claimed that Chelsea are interested in signing the Wales international.

And, despite the Blues’ wealth of midfield options, Ramsey has again been touted for a possible move to Stamford Bridge.

The Daily Mirror say Ramsey’s contract talks have broken down completely and that Chelsea and Manchester United are among clubs keen on him.

The newspaper say there is now no contract offer on the table for Ramsey and that Arsenal stand to lose him on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Speculation over Cahill’s future continues

Sheffield Wednesday are the latest club to be linked with Gary Cahill.

It follows reports that Aston Villa are interested in taking their former defender back to the club he began his career with.

The Sun say both Villa and Wednesday are keen on Cahill but that he wants to stay in the Premier League.

The newspaper also claim Manchester United’s former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is monitoring Cahill’s situation.

Cahill recently said he would seek a move when the transfer window reopens in January if he is still being overlooked by Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.
