Real Madrid are in contact with unsettled Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.
ABC says Real have told Hazard he needs to inform Chelsea he wants to leave to force the Blues' hand.
Real want to sign Hazard for a discount price and with just over a year to run on his current deal, they believe the Belgian has a big role to play.
The Spanish giants want the midfielder to kick up a fuss at his end of the deal - including making a transfer demand. Real will then step in with a realistic offer to convince Chelsea to sell.
There has been talk of Chelsea allowing Hazard to run down his deal to June 2020, but Real hope their tactics will force a rethink - just as what occurred with Thibaut Courtois last summer.
