REVEALED: Ronaldo upset over Real Madrid pursuit of Chelsea ace Hazard

Cristiano Ronaldo is becoming increasingly agitated by Real Madrid's pursuit of Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

Despite public utterances pledging his commitment to the Blues, Real chiefs, including president Florentino Perez, are convinced the Belgian is ready to move to Madrid this summer.

Perez rates Hazard at €80 million and intends to offer €30 million cash plus unsettled striker Alvaro Morata in exchange for the midfielder.

Looking on is a frustrated Ronaldo, report Don Balon, who fears his crown is slipping.

Ronaldo is already having to share the spotlight with Gareth Bale - and is concerned if Hazard arrives, his star will wane even further.

Those close to the Portuguese say rather than see Hazard's arrival as a boon for the team, he actually would view it as a threat.
