Chelsea want £100m transfer fee for Hazard from Real Madrid even though he has just one year left on deal

CHELSEA have reportedly slapped a £100million price-tag on Eden Hazard even in the final year of his contract.

The Telegraph claims Real Madrid will be told to spend a club-record fee if they want to land the Belgian this summer.

Hazard has just 18 months left on his current Blues deal and has shown no desire to pen an extension.

Chelsea are hopeful they can convince him to stay as they push for a top-four finish under Maurizio Sarri.

But Hazard is holding out for a move to the Bernabeu and reckons he’ll discover whether they intend to sign him by the end of January.

Should the Belgian tell Chelsea he wants to leave, Blues chiefs will demand Real cough up £100m for the 28-year-old forward.

Chelsea have just spent £58m on Borussia Dortmund’s Christian Pulisic, who is also out of contract in 2020.

And the feeling is that £100m is a reasonable asking price, as they believe Hazard is worth more than double of the American.

Real are unlikely to have that amount of money in the coffers, with the club strapped for cash.

But they could end up bidding up to that valuation with the inclusion of Mateo Kovacic, who joined Chelsea on loan last summer as part of Thibaut Courtois’ Bernabeu deal.

Chelsea are desperately trying to work out a deal for a new striker this January, with talks ongoing with Gonzalo Higuain.

Misfiring striker Alvaro Morata looks set to leave on loan, with Atletico Madrid a potential destination.
