Real Madrid supporters would prefer to see Eden Hazard at the Bernabeu next season over Neymar, according to a poll.
Marca asked 200,000 fans who their ideal replacement for Juventus-bound Cristiano Ronaldo would be and 15% chose the Chelsea star compared to 14% who went for Neymar.
The overwhelming winner was Neymar's Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappe, who received a whopping 54% of the vote.
Madrid president Florentino Perez's first-choice is understood to be Neymar but Hazard represents a more realistic option.
The Belgium captain starred at the World Cup for his country, outperforming Neymar in the Red Devils' quarter-final victory over Brazil.
He is a known admirer of Madrid and has long-been linked with a move to Spain.
Earlier this week, the winger said: "Real Madrid is a dream for any player, with or without [Zinedine] Zidane [as coach]."
Hazard's contract with the Blues ends in 2020 and he is yet to sign an extension despite Chelsea's best efforts.
