Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain are confident they can land Eden Hazard, according to The Independent.
.
The French club have previously been linked with a move for Hazard’s Chelsea teammate, Juan Mata, but now they look set to pursue Chelsea’s prized playmaker, who arrived in 2012 for a massive £32million.
.
The Belgian has been in electrifying form this term, scoring nine and assisting five in 24 appearances.
.
According to French newspaper Le 10 Sport, PSG boss Laurent Blanc has put Hazard at the top of his summer wishlist, and has the support of chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
.
Recent history shows PSG aren’t afraid to spend money, having brought in Uruguayan hit-man for a staggering £53million. Their €60m approach for Hazard will certain test Chelsea’s resolve.
.
However, the final decision would ultimately come down to Hazard and it is not known whether he would entertain a move to the French capital.
.
The Independent states that Jose Mourinho is aware of the French giants’ interest and is therefore urging bosses at Chelsea to tie the Belgian playmaker to a new long-term contract.
.
Hazard has featured heavily this term for Mourinho’s Chelsea, and the Portuguese manager would clearly love to keep him on at Stamford Bridge.
