Eden Hazard has apparently emerged as a shock target for Manchester City.
Report says that, should the Belgian be allowed to leave Chelsea this summer after a supremely disappointing year, then moneybags City will get involved in the bidding war.
Real Madrid are his number one suitors with new boss Zinedine Zidane a known admirer.
But City are also keen and could test Chelsea with a £80million bid.
Hazard’s Belgium teammates Vincent Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne are already settled at the Etihad and could play a key role in trying to persuade him to join them in the North West.
