Chelsea push Hazard to open contract talks amid Real Madrid chaos

Chelsea are pushing Eden Hazard's minders to open new contract talks - immediately.

The Telegraph says Chelsea want to pounce on the managerial uncertainty at Real Madrid by reopening contract talks with Hazard.

Hazard is understood to be waiting for a sign whether Real will make a move for him before making a decision over the new contract tabled at Chelsea.

But with Real in disarray following the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, Chelsea hope the uncertainty will provide a window for them to renegotiate with the 27-year-old Belgium international.

Hazard has spoken openly by staying with Chelsea beyond the end of this season.
