Transfer news, rumours | Saturday, July 21

Real Madrid are preparing to make an opening £112million offer for Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

The La Liga club are already confident that they will complete a £35.5m deal for Blues goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and are now stepping up their efforts to buy his team-mate.

However, Chelsea value the 27-year-old at a minimum £200m and insist that they hope to convince him to sign a new contract.

Joe Hart has emerged as a shock target for Chelsea, according to The Sun.

Hart - still on the books at Man City after a loan spell at West Ham - is a reported target to replace Thibaut Courtois due to his low price tag and homegrown status.

Tottenham wing-back Kieran Trippier is on Real Madrid's radar after an impressive World Cup for England, reports The Sun.

The Three Lions right-back arrived at Spurs for £3.5million in 2015, and Real are reportedly set to offer £50m for his services.

Barcelona will not give up in their pursuit of Willian, and Sky Sports reports that the Spanish giants have made a third bid for the Chelsea winger in excess of £55m.
