Real Madrid won't go crazy to sign players Transfer Market Only those who will make a difference will arrive

Eden Hazard will be named as Real Madrid's third signing ahead of the 2019/20 season, following Rodrygo Goes and Eder Militao. It is thought that the Belgian's move could be finalised in the coming days.

All three parties have an agreement that has been in the works for months now, and Hazard's dream of playing at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is set to come true.

The No.10's arrival was the first thing Zinedine Zidane requested of Florentino Perez upon his return to the Madrid bench.

"When he's one of the best in the world, he'll become a Real Madrid player," said the president in response.

That moment has finally arrived and the Chelsea star will be a Madrid player as soon as the season ends, though the Londoners are still battling to finish in the Premier League's top four, as well as challenging for silverware in the Europa League.

While losing their best player is far from ideal, Chelsea have planned for the inevitable loss and signed Christian Pulisic in January, who will arrive at Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Hazard has never kept his desire to wear the white shirt a secret, and he rejected as many as three contract renewals from the Blues.

So extreme was his stance that those at Madrid feel indebted to the player. He has regularly discussed his need to play for Madrid and his praise of Zidane is not just an act.

The deal will set Madrid back about 100 million euros, due to him having just one year left on his contract, and the two clubs do have an excellent relationship, as was shown in the deal that took Mateo Kovacic to England.

With Rodrygo and Militao already done and Hazard imminent, Los Blancos are still working on adding quality additions. However, they're not going to go crazy and sign players on a whim.

Radar ignited

The second part of their summer plans refer to the economic side. The club are clear that they won't splash tens of millions of euros on players who won't play an important role, but if a player fits and will be a big player, then they will spend.

There won't be any changes to the salary limit, and Sergio Ramos will remain the club's highest earner.

Paul Pogba is also on Zidane's list, but the club don't share the enthusiasm for the World Cup winner. They watch him closely, acknowledge his ability but are sceptical of his ability to be really decisive, and the tie against Barcelona hasn't helped his cause.

The starting point of negotiations for the Frenchman is 150 million euros, which those at the Bernabeu think to be excessive, but Pogba and Mino Raiola would be happy to make the move happen.

Tottenham's Christian Eriksen is another player whose name has been on the table, but Zidane is waiting, which in turn has the Dane delaying a decision on a proposed Spurs renewal.

Matthijs de Ligt and Donny van de Beek have proven their worth in Europe this season with Ajax and have both put themselves on Madrid's radar in the process, while Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is another.
