Real Madrid have put Eden Hazard up for sale as they prepare for Kylian Mbappe's arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, Goal can confirm.

Goal has reported the Blancos have submitted an improved €170 million (£146m/$200m) bid for Mbappe after seeing their opening offer rejected, with PSG having publicly confirmed that the striker wants to leave the club after turning down a new contract.

Madrid are now working behind the scenes to make room for Mbappe, with Carlo Ancelotti likely to trim down his squad amid intense competition for places in attacking positions.

Goal understands the Spanish giants will look to offload one of Hazard, Marco Asensio or Rodrygo if they complete a final deal for Mbappe.

Real already made Gareth Bale, Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz available for transfer earlier in the summer, and are now stepping up their efforts to sanction multiple departures before the window closes on August 31.

Though Hazard is up for sale, the Belgian was included in Madrid's squad for their match against Real Betis on Saturday.

Hazard has been linked with a return to Chelsea in recent months, but Goal has learned that he intends to stay put and fight for his place in Ancelotti’s starting XI.

Madrid are also aware that the Belgian’s wage packet will prove a stumbling block for any potential suitors, meaning it would likely take an astronomical offer for him to complete a transfer away from Santiago Bernabeu.

Asensio, Bale and Mariano seem most likely to depart at this stage, while Rodrygo has been linked with another loan move.

The Blancos are ready to listen to any offers for all five players, but Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior are considered untouchable, while Casemiro, Thibaut Courtois and Dani Carvajal all recently signed new long-term deals. (Goal)
