Real Madrid want Chelsea star Hazard to be their third signing of the summer, with Los Blancos already sealing transfer deals for Rodrygo Goes and Eder Militao. The Belgium international is seen as the man to steer the club back to the top following the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus last summer. Real Madrid have endured a nightmare campaign so far under managers Julen Lopetegui, Santiago Solari and Zinedine Zidane. They will end the season without a trophy for the first time since 2015. And Marca claim the La Liga giants will agree a deal to lure Hazard away from Chelsea in the coming days.

It is said everything will be made ‘official’ between Chelsea, Hazard and Real themselves. The Belgium international’s contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2020 with no renewal in the offing. And Marca claim Chelsea will lose the player for just £86million, having previously been holding out for £186m 12 months ago. Los Blancos could follow up the signing of the 28-year-old by going after Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen. Eriksen, like Hazard, could leave at the end of the season with his contract also up in 2020.

And the Denmark international is supposedly awaiting a call from Zinedine Zidane before deciding whether to stay at Tottenham or not. Meanwhile, former Chelsea star Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink believes his old team would be right to offload Hazard this summer. “Chelsea cannot afford to allow Hazard to leave the club for free so he will either sign a new contract or be sold this summer,” Hasselbaink said. “Hazard is a £100 million asset, a £150 million asset if he had another year on his contract, and Chelsea have a responsibility to not ignore that type of money.
