‘Hazard? Ask him…’ – Barca’s Abidal

Barcelona technical secretary Eric Abidal was coy on questions regarding the club pursuing a deal for Chelsea star Eden Hazard this summer.

Catalan-based Diario Sport say the Blaugrana have identified the 27-year-old as their main target to sign in this window, despite the player also being linked to Real Madrid.

“You will have to ask him,” Abidal responded when quizzed about Hazard’s desire to leave Chelsea for Barcelona this summer, as quoted by El Mundo Deportivo.

The playmaker is starring for Belgium at this summer’s World Cup as links of him moving on from the FA Cup winners have once again re-emerged.

Barca were unsuccessful in their pursuit of Antoine Griezmann and despite the signing of Arthur Melo, central midfielders Paulinho and Andres Iniesta have both moved on.

“Right now I’m good at Chelsea and besides, nobody has approached me with an offer,” Hazard told BeIn Sports, in quotes cited by Marca on Tuesday.

“Yes I know I have said that Zidane is special but the Madrid shirt is special with or without him at the club and they are a club who make you dream.

“I’m doing well in blue, so my future does not bother me.”
