Chelsea transfer news: Gareth Bale for Eden Hazard, farewell to Falcao?

Real Madrid keen on Hazard, but Blues could demand Bale as Hiddink picks Remy over Falcao - all the latest Chelsea transfer news and gossip

Chelsea transfer news: Gareth Bale for Eden Hazard, farewell to Falcao?
What does the future hold for Blues star Eden Hazard now that Zinedine Zidane has taken over the reins at Real Madrid?

According to the London Evening Standard Chelsea's Belgian playmaker, who has been linked to the Spanish giants in the past, could now be top of Zidane's shopping list this summer, if not sooner.

Hazard has endured a terrible season amid claims of a falling out with former boss Jose Mourinho. "Despite his problems, Chelsea will not want to sell their prize asset," says the paper. "But with Chelsea unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League, Real Madrid hope to capitalise."

But there could be a silver lining for the Blues, says the Daily Mirror, which claims that the Blues are ready to rival Manchester United for the hand of Gareth Bale. The paper hints that a deal might be done with Madrid in which they take the Welshman in exchange for Hazard.

One player who will not be leaving the Bridge this month is Loic Remy, with The Sun reporting that the Frenchman "has been told he is almost certainly staying put". Newcastle, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have all been linked with the Gallic goal-getter of late but the Sun says the Blues board are reluctant to allow Remy to leave now that they appear to have turned the corner.

Interim Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink is said to be a fan of Remy's, even though he's aware he wants more game time. With Radamel Falcao's loan move to Chelsea a complete washout, Remy's importance is such that the club will look to fight off approaches from Premier League rivals while assuring Remy he has a bright future in west London.

As for Falcao, the Mirror says he is a "target for MLS side Columbus Crew". The 29-year-old Colombian, described by the paper as a "flop", has made just one start since arriving from Monaco and though he's currently sidelined with a thigh strain, he could move Stateside in time for the start of the MLS season in March.

Meanwhile the Daily Mail claims that Chelsea will have to tussle with Tottenham for the hand of Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel. The reigning League champions reportedly "held talks with the 26-year-old about a £23m transfer" last summer but the deal fell through. Since then Spurs have appeared on the scene but the Mail says Chelsea are still interested in the Belgium international and could make a move this month.

Chelsea transfer news: Blues fight Man Utd for Sadio Mane

05 January

Chelsea are ready to take on Manchester United for the hand of Sadio Mane after the Southampton frontman allegedly fell out with Saints manager Ronald Koeman.

With Mane's future up in the air United were linked to the 23-year-old Senegalese forward over the weekend, but the International Business Times claims Chelsea are now zeroing in on the player, who is set "to have talks with the [Saints] management over his situation" on the south coast.

Koeman would like to keep hold of Mane but the IBT says if a bid lands on his desk in excess of £30m then the striker will likely be on his way out of St Mary's.

A tug of war between Chelsea and Manchester City is also looming with Javier Pastore caught in the middle. According to the Daily Express, both clubs "are monitoring" his situation at Paris Saint-Germain.

But the tug of war could become a Mexican stand-off as Juventus are also interested in the player and the Italian champs apparently ready to stump up the French club's asking price of £40m. French media outlet BuzzSport makes Juventus "favourites" to sign the 26-year-old Argentina international.

Pastore is allegedly unhappy at his lack of game time because of the presence of Angel di Maria and Lucas Moura but his move to Juventus could yet fall through if the Italians fail to sell Paul Pogba this month. Barcelona and Chelsea have both been linked over the Christmas period to Pogba but reports from Italy suggest any deal won't happen till the summer.

Chelsea transfer news: Blues to spend big on Vardy in January

24 December

Get ready for some high rolling in west London in the new year, with Chelsea set to hand intermin manager Guus Hiddink the funds he needs to buy his way out of trouble.

"Blues owner Roman Abramovich is ready to bankroll a big move in the January market and trusts Hiddink to identify targets despite only being caretaker manager," reports the Daily Mirror, which says that Leicester City goal machine Jamie Vardy is likely to be his number one target.

That might explain reports of a showdown brewing between Hiddink and French striker Loic Remy. According to the Daily Mail the pair will "hold talks" over Remy's future at the Bridge, with the paper claiming that Southampton are hovering in the background, ready to pounce if the France international decides his time at Chelsea is up.

Swansea, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are said to be interested in taking the 28-year-old on loan, while the Mail says that French clubs St Etienne and Lille have also been in touch with Remy's people. The frontman joined Chelsea last year for £10.5m but his appearances have been restricted by the presence of Diego Costa, and Remy knows he must put himself in football's shop window in the coming months if he's to have any chance of making France's squad for the European Championships.

Chelsea transfer news: 'rat' Cesc Fabregas set to bail out

23 December

Is Cesc Fabregas poised to quit Chelsea after being branded a "rat" by Chelsea fans in the wake of Jose Mourinho's exit? According to Metro the former Barcelona midfielder, accused of undermining his boss at the Bridge, is "keen" on a move to Manchester City along with Pedro providing Pep Guardiola takes over at the Etihad Stadium.

It's widely reported that Guardiola will replace Manuel Pellegrini as boss next season, and Metro says if that's the case one of his first moves will be to lure Fabregas and Pedro to the Etihad.

The paper says the pair, who "have had their difficulties this season at Stamford Bridge" would look favourably on such a move, particularly Fabregas who the Daily Mail reports has been vilified by the Chelsea faithful for what they see as his part in Mourinho's downfall.

But Talksport claims that City might face competition from Real Madrid for the hand of Fabregas. Apparently the Spanish outfit are preparing an "ambitious approach" for the playmaker as they look to "bridge the gap between themselves and arch-rivals Barcelona" and believe the 28-year-old Spaniard could be tempted by a return to his homeland.

Fabregas could be joined by another Chelsea player who has come in for stick over the departure of Mourinho - Eden Hazard. Talksport reports that the Belgian is also wanted by Los Blancos and remains a target despite his poor form this season.

Chelsea transfer news: striker Aubameyang cools Blues talk

22 December

With Chelsea in turmoil it's perhaps no surprise to hear Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang distance himself from rumours linking him with a move to Stamford Bridge.

The Borussia Dortmund sharpshooter has banged in 18 goals so far this season and as a result the Gabon goal machine has been mentioned as a Chelsea target. Arsenal were also said to be sniffing around but in conversation with German magazine Kicker, Aubameyang made a point of emphasising how happy he was in Germany.

"I am very happy here. Dortmund has become my second home," he declared. "Every goal I score feels like the first. It's a special feeling to play in front of these fans."

But with Guus Hiddink back at Chelsea following the departure of Jose Mourinho, there is no shortage of gossip as Hiddink scouts Europe for new talent to bolster his squad at the Bridge.

The latest name to be linked to the Blues is Real Madrid star James Rodriguez, with the Daily Star claiming Chelsea's Dutch manager "has issued his first transfer request" to the Chelsea board.

The paper quotes Spanish outlet Fijaches in saying Hiddink is desperate to bring the Colombian to Chelsea, particularly after it was reported in some quarters that Arsenal and Manchester City were both also on the tail of Rodriguez.

The South American, allegedly unsettled at Madrid under Rafa Benitez, is now likely to be targeted by Hiddink after he was "given the green light" by Roman Abramovich to make a move next month.

Chelsea transfer news: Hiddink after Benzema and Benteke

21 December

All is not well at Stamford Bridge after the departure of Jose Mourinho, with the Chelsea faithful booing their own players during Saturday's win over Sunderland. So it's obvious that fresh blood is required and according to The Sun that could mean a call for Karim Benzema.

The paper says new Blues boss Guus Hiddink is "eyeing a shock move" for the Real Madrid marksman, although he faces competition from Manchester City.

The 28-year-old Benzema, currently embroiled in a blackmail scandal, was linked to Arsenal over the summer but it now looks like a shootout between Chelsea and City for his services next month.

Chelsea had been linked to Jamie Vardy and Saido Berahino when Jose Mourinho was still in charge, but the Sun says Hiddink "will consider the Real Madrid star". So will Citzens gaffer Manuel Pellegrini with both clubs reportedly in contact with Bernabeu president Florentino Perez, and ready to "sound him out over a £40m move next month".

Meanwhile the Sunday People claims that Chelsea are also sniffing around Liverpool striker Christian Benteke. The paper says that the 25-year-old, who arrived at Anfield in a £32.5m deal from Aston Villa last summer, was one of Mourinho's "priority targets", and it seems Hiddink will follow through and make a bid for Benteke next month.

Would Liverpool be willing to offload the frontman? Yes, says the People, particularly as Benteke has "struggled to adapt" to Jurgen Klopp's style of play since the German replaced Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool boss. But it looks likely that Liverpool would insist on a permanent transfer rather than a six-month loan deal.

Finally, Caughtoffside.com claims that Chelsea have "made contact" with ESTAC Troyes goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni. The 18-year-old has been Troyes standout performer for the French clubs in Ligue 1 this season, and the Gallic media says Hiddink is aware of the teenage gloveman's promise and will make a move in a couple of weeks.
