# Chelsea outline plans to land sensational £58m addition

![James Rodriguez](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/James-Rodriguez-500x335.jpg)Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern haven’t had much to celebrate this season but they’ve ordered a bottle of bubbly to celebrate some exciting reports.

[*Don Balon*](https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/19237/la-ultima-maniobra-de-mourinho-que-ha-molestado-al-real-madrid)[says the Blues are looking to get around the negatives on losing Eden Hazard by landing Colombian superstar James Rodriguez as part of the deal.](https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/19237/la-ultima-maniobra-de-mourinho-que-ha-molestado-al-real-madrid)

Premier League Player of the Year Hazard has been heavily linked to Real Madrid in recent months, as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, and it seems an exit for the Belgian from Stamford Bridge is inevitable.

[Real Madrid are not keen on a deal and value the player at £58m](https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/19237/la-ultima-maniobra-de-mourinho-que-ha-molestado-al-real-madrid) but Chelsea hold the grumpy cards, whilst they could persuade Rodriguez to leave the Santiago Bernabeu with the offer of regular first-team football that he’s not guaranteed with the La Liga side.

With the likes of Isco, Gareth Bale, Mateo Kovacic and Toni Kroos in their ranks, James is facing a constant battle to land first-team football. Perhaps crucially, the Colombian shares the same agent with Jose Mourinho- Jorge Mendes.
