Real Madrid and Barcelona are planning a transfer window raid on the Premier League targeting top players in the league.
Spanish and European champions Barca are ready to relieve Liverpool of their playmaker Philippe Coutinho while Real have Chelsea’s Eden Hazard firmly in their sights, according to reports in the Sunday Times.
Madrid president Florentino Perez is looking to build a new galactico and Hazard tops his list.
The 24-year-old Belgium attacker is a key man at Stamford Bridge but given Perez has already sanctioned world record fees for Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, Chelsea might be left with little option but to cash in.
And with PSG ready to offer Real Madrid £110m for Ronaldo, Perez could have funds ready very quickly.
Coutinho is under contract at Liverpool until 2020 but Barcelona star Neymar has made it clear he wants his great friend to join him at the Nou Camp and Coutinho is apparently wanted by the hierarchy according the Times report.
