Chelsea firm on £100m as Real Madrid make contact over Hazard

Real Madrid have contacted Chelsea about the prospect of signing Eden Hazard this summer.

Goal reports Real have told Chelsea they will offer £100m for the Belgian winger.

The appointment of Zinedine Zidane as manager has accelerated the Spanish giants interest.

Hazard has continued to stall on signing a new deal with the west London club, and in the past has referred to a potential move to Madrid as a "dream".

If the 28-year-old refuses to pen an extension, Chelsea will be make a move this summer or risk losing him on a free transfer.

At this stage Chelsea would not be able to sign a replacement for Hazard due to a recent transfer ban from FIFA.

However, the club have appealed the decision, which will see them unable to sign players over the next two transfer windows.
