Hazard proving cash cow for Chelsea as Real Madrid final victory offers fresh reward

Chelsea will collect a cash windfall should Real Madrid win the Champions League final.

Los Blancos reached the showcase event with a stunning win over Manchester City on Wednesday night.

And the Blues could benefit monetarily from Real beating Liverpool in Paris on May 28.

Eden Hazard's switch from Stamford Bridge to Real included several clauses.

One of which would see Chelsea earn money if the Belgian won the Champions League with the Spanish giants, per The Express.

Chelsea have already earned around £20m from Real winning the La Liga title and qualifying for next season's Champions League.

That is despite Real hardly getting a decent return on their initial £88.5m outlay on Hazard back in 2019.

The 31-year-old has scored just four La Liga goals in three years at the Santiago Bernabeu.
