Liverpool’s hopes of signing Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi could be dented, with the news that Eden Hazard is on the brink of joining Real Madrid.
The Reds had been linked with a move for the 18-year-old winger, but a report from Marca (relayed by the Daily Mirror) has revealed that another Blues wide-man is on the cusp of leaving the club.
Having long been rumoured to be on the way to the Spanish capital, Hazard is reported to be in line to complete his Los Blancos switch in the coming days.
With Chelsea threatened by a year-long transfer ban, Maurizio Sarri (or whoever has come up on the big wheel Chelsea spin to decide their managers) may have little option but to use Hudson-Odoi in the campaign to come.
Liverpool may now be forced to look elsewhere for a young, rotational forward for next season, if Chelsea do indeed decide to hang onto the England international.
