Real to offer Asensio as part of Hazard deal

The Chelsea forward remains Los Blancos' prime target

Real Madrid are ready to offer Marco Asensio as a makeweight in any deal for Chelsea forward Eden Hazard, according to Don Balon.

Real president Florentino Perez is desperate to land the Belgian to finally replace Cristiano Ronaldo and is prepared offer Asensio to help get the deal done.

However, any deal is unlikely to be completed in January as Real interim coach Santiago Solari is a fan of Asensio and is reluctant to see him leave mid-season.
