I think it is the perfect fit- Roberto Martinez on Eden Hazard-Real Madrid transfer
The Belgian winger signed a five-year deal with Los Blancos for a reported €140million last week.
Belgium football team's head coach Roberto Martinez believes that their captain Eden Hazard and his new club Real Madrid are made for each other as he said that this is the 'Perfect Fit.' The former Chelsea winger joined Los Blancos last week for a fee reported to be around €140million.
The move to Santiago Bernabeu was highly anticipated and the club had already made clear that they wanted Eden. After the transfer, Eden said that the decision has been the toughest of his career. And Martinez is optimistic about the player and the club.
"For Real Madrid, they are getting a phenomenal footballer and for Eden, there couldn't have been too many new chapters in his career," Martinez said.
"He always said that he was feeling at home in London with Chelsea so probably it was the only place that he could have gone and the place where he always had the dream of going."
