Transfer gossip: Sun say Hazard is up for sale

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Eden Hazard has been put up for sale by Chelsea, The Sun claim.

The newspaper declares that two top agents have told Europe’s elite clubs that Hazard is available.

Both agents are said to have close ties to Chelsea and been extensively involved in the club’s transfer dealings.

Chelsea believe it would benefit all parties if Hazard was sold for any fee in excess of £50m, it is claimed.

It is also claimed that incoming boss Antonio Conte could be interested in a swap deal involving Real Madrid’s James Rodriquez.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph say Chelsea striker Diego Costa is prepared to consider a money-spinning move to China if his former club Atletico Madrid cannot afford to re-sign him this summer.

Speculation continues over the future of former Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku and how much Everton would be prepared to sell him for.

Lukaku, who has been linked with a possible return to Stamford Bridge, would be allowed to leave Goodison Park for £65m, The Sun say.

And reports in Conte’s native Italy continue to suggest that he wants to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal.
