2. Manchester City

This would be the soccer equivalent to the Golden State Warriors adding Kevin Durant after winning 73 games. After a historic 100-point title-winning season, Pep Guardiola could only want one more thing: more players. Specifically wingers, so he can give Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane a break from time to time.

Due to City’s brilliant playing style led by Guardiola, Hazard would be a near-perfect fit. Able to keep the ball and dribble out of tight spaces, his width and one-on-one battles are the stuff Guardiola craves. And while he’s not a prolific scorer, he doesn’t need to be as long as keeps the ball and feeds it to either Gabriel Jesus or Sergio Aguero.

Hazard would make an excellent team even better. Nobody would come near challenging City in the Premier League, not Manchester United or Liverpool. This move would strictly be to fight for the Champions League, and you couldn’t blame City for making it. That’s the trophy Guardiola wants, and given his recent attempts to buy Alexis Sanchez and Riyad Mahrez, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he goes after Hazard to get it.
