EDEN HAZARD’S move to Real Madrid will impact on Callum Hudson-Odoi’s dream switch to Bayern Munich.

Chelsea are determined not to lose both forwards this summer despite their contracts running down.

And cashing in on Hazard could see them keep Hudson-Odoi, 18, despite no breakthrough on extending his contract beyond 2020.

Bayern have targeted the England Under-21 forward as part of the rebuilding process in the aftermath of crashing out of the Champions League to Liverpool this week.

They failed in a £35million move in January but are ready to bid again in the summer - and could break the Premier League record fee for a teenager.

Paris-Saint Germain have also shown interest in Hudson-Odoi, who has been limited to starts in the FA Cup and Europa League.

In the matches he has appeared, the youngster has produced five goals and four assists, which has kept Bayern and PSG in the hunt for him at the end of the season.

Chelsea have been hit with a two-window transfer ban from Fifa, which could get delayed but still complicates their recruitment.

SunSport reported this week that Real are going to start their bidding for Hazard at £70m now Zinedine Zidane is back at the club.

Zizou is a huge fan of the Belgian and may opt to target him instead of PSG forward Neymar.

That is despite the former Barcelona star being on the radar of Real president Florentino Perez.

Should Hudson-Odoi move it is likely to ecplise Anthony Martial’s move from Monaco to Manchester United.

The Old Trafford club paid an initial £36m when they signed Martial in 2015 and it remains the biggest Prem deal for a teenager.

However, United paid an additional £8.5m when the French forward scored his 25th goal for the club and further add-ons could see the deal rise to a whopping £61.5m in total.
