Eden Hazard has been on Zidane's wishlist for a few seasons now, and it looks like Conte might accept to selling the attacking midfielder, despite being set to offer him a new and improved contract.
According to Marca, Conte's interest for James Rodriguez could make the deal a lot easier, as it would be the Italian manager's main condition to allow Hazard's departure.
James has not really found his stride in the Spanish capital but Conte believes he has enough quality to carry Chelsea's attacking play.
The Spanish source assures that 'Zidane has asked Florentino to sign Hazard for next season', and he would have no issue in letting James join the Blues.
