Chelsea ace Eden Hazard is ready to make a public transfer demand to push negotiations along with Real Madrid.
Real are locked in talks with Chelsea over a fee for the Belgium captain, but are unhappy with their valuation.
Chelsea are insisting on at least €100m to sell Hazard - a fee Real president Florentino Perez views as too steep.
AS says with negotiations stalling, a source close to the player says Hazard would be willing to make a transfer demand to force things along.
The gesture would be performed with Florentino's approval, who has used similar tactics regarding past deals for Xabi Alonso (Liverpool), Luka Modric and Gareth Bale (both Tottenham).
