Big clubs make mistakes as well. According to Metro, The Blues refused to bring in Hazard for £100k and had to sign the Belgian star for £32million in 2012. Apparently, the Londoners did not want a 16 year old rising star like Hazard who eventually made it to Lille where he began his amazing career. Financially speaking, it would have been an amazing move on behalf of Chelsea. As far as football goes, no one knows if Hazard would have ended up playing so great if not for his years spent in France.

Now Hazard is one of the most important players in Mourinho’s squad and has increased in value as well. He is seen as right up there with Ronaldo and Messi who are currently considered the most expensive players in the world. The Belgian, who was brought in when Di Matteo was manager, missed the chance to start his professional career with Chelsea due to some conflicts between Franc Arnesen and Mourinho. After the Portuguese manager left, his former scout, Gwyn Williams suggested Hazard as an option for the left side of the pitch but was refused without any particular reason.

Regardless of what happened, Chelsea still managed to bring in one of the best players in the world some time later. Despite the fact that he cost the club very much, he is still the one who kept the entire team up and running last season when he was the top scorer for the Blues.
