Real Madrid chiefs agree bringing Chelsea star Eden Hazard to Spain

Real Madrid chiefs have settled on bringing Chelsea star Eden Hazard to Spain this summer.

Marca says Los Blancos have concluded Hazard is the man they view as a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo .

The 28-year-old has also decided he is determined to sign for the La Liga giants and rejected Chelsea's renewed attempts to tie him down to a long-term contract.

But he has told Real Madrid to hold fire until the end of the season as he does not want to disrupt Chelsea's season in January.

Chelsea are said to be aware of Hazard's desire to leave for Madrid - but they won't let him go cheap. They won't budge on a £90m valuation despite his contract situation.

Hazard's deal runs to 2020.
