Chelsea have slapped a whopping £130 million price tag on Eden Hazard. This is quite an audacious and perhaps, prohibitory move from Chelsea's part as Hazard's current contract will run out next year and he will leave the club on a free.

Real Madrid are not willing to offer more than €100 million for a player whose contract will run out at the end of the next season. Chelsea will, however, only sell Hazard for the right price. The Blues are facing a transfer ban which they cannot sign any new players.

Chelsea are thus in a tricky spot. If they sell Hazard, they won't be able to get a replacement. However, if they keep him, they lose out on close to €100 million. Chelsea, however, are reportedly ready to take that risk and Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is handling the negotiations.
