Real Madrid has set announcement dates for key targets in Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic, whose transfers to Spain are inevitable by now.

Real Madrid is set to have a productive transfer window and look to wrap up some of ZInedine Zidane’s chief targets before even the start of pre-season. The Whites are in such a hurry to sign players that they are expected to announce two major arrivals as early as the end of this month, according to Fox Sports.

Luka Jovic will be a Real Madrid player within the next seven days. The Serbia international will reportedly play his last match for Eintracht Frankfurt against Bayern Munich over the weekend before completing a 60 million euros’ transfer to Spain. All the agreements have been made and the contract will formally be signed next week once the current Bundesliga campaign ends.

Eden Hazard is soon set to follow truce by being the second arrival in a few days’ time. The Belgium international will look to lift silverware in his last Chelsea game, a Europa League Final in Azerbaijan versus Arsenal on May 29. The left winger will cost the Merengues 100 million euros or so and would complete his inevitable transfer on the penultimate day of the month.

Signing two highly sought after attackers in a flash is a great move by Real Madrid, who would have gotten two of Europe’s hottest properties for a combined 160 million euros- which is certainly a reasonable price tag in the currently inflated market. That being said, the Whites will now turn their attention to signing other players.

One of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will depart in all probability and so Christian Eriksen and Paul Pogba are on the radar of the team based out of the Spanish capital of Madrid. Matthijs de Ligt is also on Real Madrid’s radar, but it looks like the Netherlands international will be heading to Barcelona sooner or later during the summer.

Now that Hazard and Jovic are just official communications away from being Madridistas, who should be the next players to be signed?
