Eden Hazard is trying to push through a move to Barcelona, according to Spanish daily newspaper Mundo Deportivo.

The Belgian is reportedly at odds with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and said after the defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final that, “Chelsea is not built to play football.”

That earned a stern rebuke from Mourinho, who went on to question Hazard’s team ethic, and now the former Lille star has sounded out Barcelona over a move this summer.

Mundo Deportivo claim “through a friend (of Hazard), Barca have been made aware that: ‘If I want, I’m willing to go with you.’”

The paper go on to claim that Hazard has “almost reached a point of no return with his current coach.”

Barcelona are also said to be keen on Thibaut Courtois, the young Chelsea goalkeeper who has never played a competitive game for the Blues but has become one of the best young ‘keepers in the game while on loan at Atletico.
