Real Madrid told who to sign between Paul Pogba and Eden Hazard

Real Madrid have been advised to give up their pursuit of Manchester United's Paul Pogba and sign Chelsea forward Eden Hazard instead.

Both Premier League stars have been linked with a move to Los Blancos in recent months, but both would set the Bernabeu club back a small fortune.

Real Madrid are looking to break the bank this summer as Zinedine Zidane prepares his rebuild job ahead of the new season.

But Los Blancos are linked with a number of other top players, meaning a transfer for one or the other - as opposed to both - may be Real Madrid's only option.

Aspas told Radio MARCA: "Of the players that I like, I would sign Hazard or [Kylian] Mbappe, because Hazard is going to be more affordable than Mbappe.

"Pogba or Kante are not players for Real Madrid. I like their central midfield.
