Spanish outlet claim the 28-year-old winger has agreed a five-year deal after speaking directly with Zidane.

Hazard’s Stamford Bridge contract expires at the end of next season and the Belgium international has failed to agree an extension.

With the Blues' two-year transfer ban for illegally signing young players imminent, Stamford Bridge chiefs are desperate to keep star man Hazard.

However, with the threat of losing the forward for nothing in 2020, Chelsea have put a £98million price tag on his head.

Real initially lodged a £68.5m bid with Chelsea, however, they were swiftly told to up that by the Blues.
