Real Madrid to announce Eden Hazard after Europa League final

Eden Hazard's time at Chelsea is all but over. The Belgian has confirmed that he has made a decision and has already informed the club about it. he said:

“I have made my decision. I told the club a couple of weeks ago. But it is not just about me. We have a final to play and then I will see.”

Hazard : “I have made my decision. I told the club a couple of weeks ago. But it is not just about me. We have a final to play and then I will see. I wanted that [to have the situation sorted out] but that’s not happened. I’m still waiting like you and like the fans are waiting.”

The hint dropped by the star clearly indicates that he wants to join Real Madrid this summer and he is ready to make that jump finally. Reports now suggest that Los Blancos have agreed a deal with Chelsea and the move will be official soon.

The report also adds that the official announcement will take place this month itself and it will be right after the Europa League final. Daily Mail add that the transfer will cost around £86 million (€100 million) – Chelsea's record sale for a player.
