Real Madrid have reportedly put their pursuit of Eden Hazard on hold until the summer, with the club set to prioritise a move for Mauro Icardi instead.
According to Diario Gol, Real’s priority for the January transfer window is to bring in a new striker, and their pursuit of Hazard has been ‘delayed’ until the summer window.
The report also notes that current Real manager Santiago Solari gave club president Florentino Perez the green light regarding Icardi’s potential arrival in the Spanish capital, and that Real are going to try and use Luka Modric as a makeweight in their offer for Icardi.
Despite Hazard’s quality, Real benching their move for him so they can focus on bringing in a new striker is a smart decision for the Spanish giants to make, especially when you consider how much Karim Benzema has declined in recent years.
