Chelsea Transfer News: Eden Hazard transfer to Real Madrid confirmed by Thibaut Courtois

Thibaut Courtois has thrown a huge hint at Eden Hazard’s transfer. 

Thibaut Courtois’s cryptic emoji has left fans wondering. The Belgian International replied to a tweet which asked about Eden Hazard.

Username named DjMariio had tweeted if anybody knew where Eden Hazard is.

The tweet read the following: “Alguien sabe dónde está Hazard” which translates to “Someone knows where Hazard is”

The former Chelsea goalkeeper was not able to resist and replied with a ‘raising the hand’ emoji, indicating he knows where the 28-year-old is currently.

This has left the fans bewildering, even though they are already prepared for the inevitable departure from Stamford Bridge.

Thibaut Courtois will receive more hate from Chelsea fans again. The Belgian International forced himself out of the club last season which infuriated the whole fanbase as the goalkeeping department was left in a conundrum state.

That emoji might remain cryptic, but Courtois has fueled rumours with this action again. Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois represented Chelsea between 2014 and 2018, and they share the colour of the same nation as well.

Earlier, reports stated by Guardian claimed that Chelsea have accepted a bid from Real Madrid worth 88 million plus on add-ons. Both the clubs are working to finalize the paper works and the announcement is expected in a few days.

There were contradicting reports that the club was not prepared to accept any deal below 100 million. Since the additional clauses touch 130 million, the Blues have agreed to sell their superstar to the Los Blancos.

Eden Hazard moved to Chelsea from Lille in 2012. The 28-year-old has gone on to become one of the best players in the world under the guidance of several managers. He has won the Premier League twice, Europa League twice, FA Cup and League Cup once. Additionally, individual accolades including PFA Player of the year and PFA Young Player of the Year proved his class.

Hazard has only one year contract left in his deal. The former Lille forward was asked if he would feature for any other club in England at Baku. He immediately responded:  “No chance, no chance. I am a Blue. It means a lot to me. I cannot play for another club in this country.”

Here’s how Twitter has reacted..

What’s next?

Eden Hazard’s move to Real Madrid looks just a formality and it is bound to happen in the next few days.
