Chelsea are on alert following reports Real Madrid will ramp up their bid to sign Eden Hazard amid concerns over a potential transfer ban. Plus, forward recruits are a priority at Stamford Bridge, with Alex Teixeira and Gonzalo Higuain among the Blues' top targets.
In almost identical circumstances to Barcelona, Real could incur a one-year transfer suspension in relation to the signing of underage players, according to Spanish website Fichajes (h/t Metro's Mark Brus).
However, no punishment is assured just yet, and so Los Merengues are understood to be anxious to get a deal done for Chelsea's Hazard before any sanction can come into effect.
