According to the report on Metro and De Sport, Jose Mourinho who is the handler of Roma is ready to give the England international the chance to play in the first team in Italy.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh had reported how Real Madrid flop, Eden Hazard became the second highest-paid player at Real Madrid earning $10m a year.

The 30-year-old joined Los Blancos in a deal valued at around €115 million in 2019 but has failed to live up to the huge prize since then - with a series of injuries hampering his performances for them.

He has made just 45 appearances scoring five times and assisting eight other goals after two seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, Mourinho is now hoping to reunite with the Belgian forward having already worked together during the Portuguese's second stint at Chelsea.

Real might be planning to raise funds from Hazard's sale as they are planning to make a move for either PSG star Kylian Mbappe or Borussia Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland this summer.
