Eden Hazard’s Real Madrid unveiling causing Bernabeu problem for Los Blancos
REAL MADRID plan to unveil Eden Hazard in front of more than 70,000 fans tomorrow – but have struggled to find him a shirt number!
Hazard is set to celebrate his £150m move from Chelsea with a grand unveiling at the Bernabeu at 7pm local time, to maximise the chances of a record crowd.
But his favourite No 10 shirt is already taken by Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric and Real Madrid are unwilling to make him give it up.
With so few marketable numbers free because the Madrid club are struggling to sell the many unwanted players in their bloated squad, some difficult discussions were held.
And Hazard is now expected to get the famous No 7 shirt once worn by Cristiano Ronaldo – not least because it was on sale in at least one club shop last week with his name already on the back
