Chelsea set price for Eden Hazard
The Eden Hazard-Real Madrid transfer saga seems to be nearing its end. According to OkDiario, Chelsea have asked Real Madrid to pay £163 million (approximately €180 million) for the Belgian.
The 28-year-old has not held back whenever he's been asked about a potential switch to Real Madrid and said very recently that he has a lot of admiration for Los Blancos.
Hazard said,
“The new coach [Sarri] thinks football like me, so we’ll see, the family is in London, I’m also going to be 28.
“Me, you know me, I’ve always loved Real, even before [Zinedine] Zidane, we’ll see what happens. As I said, I’m already finishing this year with Chelsea, I still have a year of contract after this year, we’ll see.”
Hazard's current contract with Chelsea runs till 2020 and it is highly likely that they'll try to cash in this summer when they can still get a great amount of money than risk losing him for free as a move certainly looks inevitable at the moment.
