Eden Hazard has already informed Chelsea why they should snap up Sergio Ramos on free transfer.
Eden Hazard has praised Sergio Ramos as “one of the best defenders in history” as Chelsea continues to be among the possible admirers for the Spanish defender.
The 35-year-old defender lately announced his exit from Real Madrid having failed to agree on a new deal with Los Blancos after 16 years at the club.
Ramos became a ‘Galatico’ in 2005 at the age of 19 after dropping Sevilla in a settlement worth £24 million and went to match one of the most decorated footballers, winning four Champions Leagues and a World Cup among many more.
Former Chelsea player Hazard, made the switch from Stamford Bridge to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2019 for £103.5 million, despite the Belgian having just one year left on his deal.
The Belgium captain joined forces with Ramos and spent two years collectively under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane and went on to win La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup.
Hazard declaimed first-hand about the former Real Madrid skipper while on international duty with Belgium, amid Chelsea’s maiden offer in an effort to attract the Spaniard to West London.
The former Chelsea number ten alleged that Ramos has a lot left to give, despite his age, before revealing his desire to play alongside him again one day.

Hazard said: “I wish him the best. We were together for two years. He is a leader.
“He is one of the best defenders in football’s history,” the 30-year-old winger continued, in-awe of his former teammate.
“I hope he carries on enjoying it.”
Hazard continued that he would one day like to play alongside the five time La Liga champion again, amid reports alleging Chelsea have made Ramos an offer.
“I would have liked to have kept playing with him,” Hazard added. “He still has many goals to score.”
Ramos is also being watched by Paris Saint Germain, Thomas Tuchel’s former team, who originally offered the Spaniard a one-year contract rather than a two-year deal, report L’Equipe.
L’Equipe also maintained that both parties would be involved in a one-year deal with the option for a further year – a very similar arrangement to Thiago Silva’s when he joined the Blues, who was aged 35 at the time, just like Ramos now.
With Ramos in the same situation Silva was in when he initially joined the Blues, Chelsea supporters can take great joy when looking back at Marina Granoskaia’s comments regarding the Brazilian’s arrival.
Speaking to the Chelsea website in 2020, the Chelsea director praised Silva’s experience and quality.
She said: “We are delighted to be able to add a player of Thiago Silva’s proven world-class credentials to our squad.”
Granovskaia continued by highlighting Silva’s qualities, which can be compared to that of Ramos.
“Having performed at the highest level for many years,” she said.
“We have no doubt his experience and quality will complement the many exciting talents we already have here.
“Thiago will be an excellent fit and we hope he can add some new trophies to his impressive list of honours”
