Real Madrid to sign Eden Hazard after agreeing £130m fee with Chelsea
Real Madrid and Chelsea have agreed a £130million fee for Eden Hazard.
That’s according to the Telegraph, who claim Zinedine Zidane’s side will pay an initial £88m with a further £42m in performance-related add-ons.
Hazard, who was set to become a free agent in June 2020, guided Chelsea to the Europa League title in Baku last month with two goals in a 4-1 win over London rivals Arsenal.
Hazard said after Chelsea won the Europa League final against Arsenal that “I think it is a goodbye, but in football you never know”.
At that point, Real and Chelsea had not agreed on a fee but on Wednesday night they did with the announcement set to follow in the next few days. The two clubs are now preparing the contracts to be signed.
The 28-year-old Belgian will leave Stamford Bridge after seven hugely successful years at the club, winning the Premier League twice, one FA Cup and two Europa League titles.
