Liverpool have reportedly made a formal approach for Lille winger Eden Hazard, who has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester UnitedAccording to the Daily Mirror, the Merseysiders have asked the Ligue 1 club to keep them informed of all developments in the race to sign the Belgium international in the coming weeks, with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid also interested in the £20million-rated youngster.
Liverpool reportedly believe the have the upper hand on their rivals as they have already shown that they are prepared to hand youngsters first team opportunities.
20-year-old Hazard would be offered the chance of first team football at Anfield, although the Reds may find it tough to convince the Belgian to join them when other interested clubs can offer Champions League football.
Hazard recently fuelled rumours that he could join Inter Milan by saying he was "fascinated" by the thought of playing in Serie A.
But Inter's sporting director Piero Ausilio says that any interest in the highly-rated player is premature.
Ausilio told Sky Italia of reports linking Inter with Hazard as well as Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez and Udinese's Alexis Sanchez: "Sanchez, Tevez and Hazard? If I say they're not good players I would be lying, but talk about negotiations for these three is premature."
Inter captain Javier Zanetti recently stated he would like to see Hazard move to the San Siro.
