First Posted: Mar 03, 2016 07:08 AM EST
Real Madrid bounced back on Wednesday with a 3-1away win against Levante. The win came several days after Los Blancos lost to crosstown rivals, Atletico Madrid. However, an overhaul is expected since the La Ligais out of reach with Barcelona sitting pretty at the top of the table.
According to a report by Marca, Madrid are looking to sell two of their technically gifted young players, James Rodriguez and Isco. Both players have failed to find their form this campaign as Madrid lag behind Atletico and Barcelona in the La Liga table.
The final three months of the season will be very vital for the future of James and Isco as they try to impress manager Zinedine Zidane. If both fail to find their form, a replacement from the English Premier League is reportedly in place.
Incoming Hazard
According to the latest tabloid rumors via FOX Sports, the transfer fees from the sale of James and Isco will fund the arrival of Chelsea forward Eden Hazard. Kristof Terreur of Het Laatste Nieuwsmentioned on Twitter that Marca claims that Zidane is a fan of the Belgian international.
In an interview with the Le Parisien, Hazard appreciates all the praises Zidane has given him. He said as quoted by ESPN, "Of course, Zinedine Zidane gets you interested. He was my idol when he was a player and he"s been saying good things about me for a long time."
However, Hazard is not having the best season of his career as Chelsea may not finish within the top four of the EPL. His form has gone south since winning the 2014-2015 PFA Player of the Year after helping the Blues lift the Premier League trophy, per The Guardian.
The 25-year-old has a contract at Stamford Bridge until 2020 but has expressed his desire to join Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. Current Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink challenged him to find his form and fitness in order to increase his value.
If Hazard indeed becomes the new "Galactico" signing, he forms an incredible quartet of attackers with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.
Ronaldo Issue Over
Marcarecently reported that Ronaldo might be leaving the Spanish capital after criticizing his teammates. Sport360stressed out how important CR7 is to Madrid and Zidane seems to agree.
"Cristiano has spoken with everyone. Myself and everyone. The issue is already in the past. We know how important Cristiano is and we"re with him," Zidane said as quoted by Football Espana.
