Hazard demands quick sale as Chelsea and Real Madrid stall over price

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard has set a deadline for his move to Real Madrid to be completed.

The Mirror says the Chelsea star has set a deadline of June 4 for his future to be resolved, with Real poised to firm up their long-held interest in the Belgian with a solid bid for his services.

However, the clubs are still some £26million apart in their valuation of the 28-year-old, with Real so far offering £86million and Chelsea looking for something closer to £112million.

A compromise is expected to be reached, with Hazard almost certain to be swapping Stamford Bridge for the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

But it is believed that he has told friends that he wants the deal to be in place before he joins up with the Belgium squad for their Euro 2020 qualifiers with Kazakhstan on June 8 and Scotland on June 11.
