INSIDER: Real Madrid confident of Hazard deal - want to use Kovacic

Real Madrid's board is confident a deal for Chelsea star Eden Hazard is settled and locked away.

Hazard hasn't hid his ambitions of playing for Real and has left the door open to a summer switch in recent interviews.

Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito de Jugones, says there's confidence inside Real that a deal is now agreed.

"There is a player who, except for a surprise, will sign for Real Madrid. It's Eden Hazard," declared Inda.

"Chelsea speaks of €100m. Madrid has a player on loan there, who is (Mateo) Kovacic and wants to include him in the operation and insist at most he would cost €30m."

If Chelsea pass on the Kovacic option, Real will seek to sell the Croatia midfielder to "the highest bidder", added Inda.
