Chelsea would rather sell Hazard to Real Madrid than let him go to Manchester United.

The Belgian player's future is in serious doubt after he rejected a contract extension offer from Chelsea worth £300,000 a week.

According to Don Balon, Chelsea will do everything to prevent Hazard from moving to Manchester United. However, it is highly likely that billionaire Abramovich will agree to let Hazard have his wish and join Real Madrid.

Zidane was a big admirer of the Chelsea star and convinced president Florentino Perez to spend big to bring Eden Hazard to Santiago Bernabeu.

Alexis Sanchez joins Man City on a salary of £400,000 per week.

The Chilean striker will ignore all offers in the upcoming winter transfer window and will wait until the end of the season to leave Arsenal as a free agent.

Sanchez is waiting for his contract with Arsenal to expire before joining Man City.

Alexis Sanchez is expected to receive the signing bonus and high salary promised by Man City. Accordingly, the Etihad Stadium club will pay Sanchez a base salary of £325,000 per week. In addition, he will receive an extra £75,000 per week in image rights fees.

This means Alexis Sanchez will become the highest-paid player in the Premier League since the 2017/18 season. Meanwhile, Manchester City also got a bargain as they didn't have to pay any transfer fee.

PSG are currently trying to lure Sanchez to Paris in January. However, there is already an unspoken agreement between the Chilean star and coach Pep Guardiola to reunite next year.

Arsenal spend big to sign Italian center-back.

The London club will submit a £35.4 million offer for Juventus' promising central defender Daniele Rugani, who is also currently being pursued by Manchester United.

Arsenal are losing out on Rugani.

At Juventus, Rugani hasn't had a regular place in the first team. However, if he moves to the Emirates Stadium, manager Wenger promises to immediately give the 23-year-old defender a starting spot.

According to Il Posticipo, Rugani is quite disappointed at not being used by Max Allegri. Instead, Allegri prefers to use center-back Mehdi Benatia at the moment.

Therefore, Rugani will consider the possibility of joining Arsenal in order to get regular playing time and further develop his career.
