Eden Hazard wants to leave Chelsea and join Real Madrid, per L'Equipe (via Metro). Cristiano Ronaldo is sick of life under Rafa Benitez, per Spanish outlet El Chiringuito TV (via Daily Star).
It's time the two find out if the grass is greener on the other side -- even though it's not -- specifically with a straight swap.

Hazard to Madrid. Ronaldo to Chelsea. Watch the internet explode.
Just putting it out there. Who'd swap Hazard for Ronaldo right now ?

Admittedly, the plausibility of such a move is highly unlikely. Ronaldo already knows what life under Jose Mourinho is like. Hazard is slowly learning himself, having been dropped off the squad in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

"I left out Hazard because we are conceding lots of goals," Mourinho said. "It was a tactical decision. We needed midfield players to be concerned with being solid.
"I continue that way [leaving Hazard out] or he comes in our direction, and tries to play that way."
For Ronaldo to return to the guidance of Mourinho, he'd have to cross a very burnt down bridge.
"Last season, yes [Hazard was better than Ronaldo]," the former Real Madrid boss said, per Sky Sports. "I am not saying he is not fantastic. I am just saying that, in my personal view, every football player in the world should understand that a team has to be in front and no titles."
Though unlikely, a straight swap isn't outside the realm of possibility. Should Mourinho fail to survive the season -- especially with Chelsea 10 points from the top of the table -- then the plot thickens.
Especially if Carlo Ancelotti is appointed to succeed him.
