Rumours about Eden Hazard's future make the Wednesday papers.

What the papers say

The future of Eden Hazard at Chelsea is subject of speculation, with Spanish media reporting the Belgian is considering handing in a transfer request to force a move to Real Madrid, while the Daily Mirror reports the Stamford Bridge side have already rebuffed a £100m offer. Hazard only has one year left on his contract and could leave for nothing in 12 months.

Sticking with Chelsea, and Roma are said to have offered Maurizio Sarri a deal to become their manager this summer, reports the Daily Telegraph. This follows speculation that former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has turned down the job at the Serie A side.
