LOSC Lille put a 40 million Euros tag on Eden Hazard – Ligue 1 news
LOSC Lille have set a price tag on their star playmaker Eden Hazard and will be willing to sell the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 international no less than 40 million Euros next season.
Hazard graduated from Lille youth academy in 2007 and has appeared in 119 games and scored 20 goals for Les Dogues. The 20-year-old has attracted the interest of several European giants including Paris Saint-Germain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Juventus.
Although a deal could not be finalised in the 2011 summer transfer window, more suitors have appeared for the Belgian prodigy, which could result in a showdown between the suitors in the 2012.
According to Italian sports daily La Gazzetta, Juventus appear to be one of the top contenders in signing Hazard as they look to for a replacement of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726. The 36-year-old will be drawing curtains on his career at the end of this season.
La Vecchia Signora are keeping tabs on Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery and Eden Hazard.
In an interview to Tuttosport.com, special advisor to President Michel Seydoux, Jean-http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 must expect a high price for their midfielder. “Eden will remain with us at least until next summer,” said
Jean-Michel.
He further added, “The clubs that are interested [in Hazard] must come with full pockets because he will not go for less than 40 million Euros.” Vandamme said that recently Chelsea had shown great interest in signing the player, he added that although Real
Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have not made any official contacts for the 2010/11 Ligue 1 Player of the Year, they are keeping tabs on the playmaker.
Paris Saint-Germain are also in need of a second striker and the 40 million Euros demand will not make the cash-laden club back away. The departure of Eden Hazard is most expected to take place especially after the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Cole-c18694 from Liverpool.
Although defending champions are keen on keeping the Belgium international at Stade Lille-Metropole, it remains to be seen if Les Dogues will be willing to part with the playmaker in the 2012 winter transfer window with a tempting offer from the European
giants.
