Eden Hazard is keeping Chelsea waiting over committing to a new record contract.
The Times says Hazard is stalling on a £300,000-a-week contract offer from Chelsea.
The Belgian dazzler is hoping that his current contract situation could attract an offer from Real Madrid.
Hazard and his representatives will hold off any talks over a new deal until the end of the season.
It is a similar situation for Thibaut Courtois, who has also told Chelsea that he will not be looking to sign a new deal until the end of the current campaign.
Hazard, 26, remains happy at Stamford Bridge and has two and a half years to run on his current deal.
