Real Madrid are planning a move for West Ham’s Felipe Anderson, should
the Spanish side fail to land their number one transfer target Eden Hazard.
Sources understands
Chelsea have already rejected an offer from Real of around £60m for Hazard
earlier this month, making it clear they will only entertain offers closer to
double that figure.
Hazard is out of contract next June and has so far turned down offers of
a new contract.
However, with a ban on transfer business looming at Stamford Bridge,
Chelsea may choose to ignore Real's offers and keep their prized asset for
another season.
And it's this policy which has prompted Real's returning head coach
Zinedine Zidane to target Anderson in a deal likely to be worth around £65m.
That would appear good business for West Ham, who signed Anderson in the
summer of 2018 for a club-record £33.5m.
Anderson has featured in all 31 of West Ham's league games this season,
scoring eight goals and making six assists, although the Brazilian is yet to
find the net in 2019.
